SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the electromotive force (EMF) induced in a disk with an area of 0.003 m² subjected to a magnetic field (B) increasing at a rate of 0.02 T/s. Using Faraday's law of induction, the magnetic flux (φ) is calculated as φ = B × A, yielding a value of 0.00006 Wb. The EMF (E) is then determined using the formula E = -N(φ)/t, resulting in an EMF of -0.00006 V, with the unit of EMF confirmed as Volts.

PREREQUISITES

Homework Statement



S is a disk of Area 0.003m2, B is a magnetic field perpendicular to S and increasing at 0.02 T per second. What is the EMF in the perimeter of S?

Homework Equations



I assume we need a formula relating Area, B and emf - Faraday's law of induction? or possibly phi = BAcos(phi)

The Attempt at a Solution



phi - BxA = .003x.02 = .00006

E = -N(phi)/t

t = 1 second
N = 1
therefore E = -.00006

is this right? what are the units of EMF?
