Homework Statement


C
alculate the emf (in volts) induced in a loop of wire if the magnetic flux in the loop increases from zero to 71.1 milliweber in 16.7 millisec.



Homework Equations



faradays Law

The Attempt at a Solution



The only law I know is faradays law which uses Area. Is there another formula that does not need it?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Faraday's Law is the only one that links the induced EMF to the change in Magnetic Flux, why would you want to use anything else?

[tex]\mathcal{E} = -\frac{d\Phi_B}{dt}[/tex]

You're given the change in the magnetic flux (Remember, one Weber is one Tesla * m^2) and the time over which the change occurred in this question.
 
So would it just be

71.1mWb / 16.7 ms = 4.25 mV ?
