Homework Statement


The e.m.f E of a battery is given by [tex]E = \frac{P}{I}[/tex] where P is the power supplied from the battery when current I flows through it. An e.m.f. [tex]{E_c}[/tex] can also be induced in a coil when the magnetic flux, [tex]\Phi[/tex], associated with it changes with time, t, as expressed by [tex]{E_c} = \frac{{d\Phi }}{{dx}}[/tex]. Determine the base unit for the magnetic flux.

Answer is [tex]kg{m^2}{A^{ - 1}}{s^{ - 2}}[/tex]

Homework Equations


[tex]E = \frac{P}{I} = \frac{{kg{m^2}{s^{ - 2}}}}{{A \cdot s}}[/tex]


The Attempt at a Solution


I tried to integrate [tex]E = \frac{P}{I} = \frac{{kg{m^2}{s^{ - 2}}}}{{A \cdot s}}[/tex] but was stuck at getting the answer. Please help
Thanks!

There is no need to integrate,just rearrange your equation to make phi the subject then insert the base units and tidy it up.
 
Flux=Px/I.You have the right units for P,x is s and I is A
 
Thanks for the replies, however, aren't we suppose to extract information that is provided by the question?

How do you guys deduce the answer from [tex]{E_c} = \frac{{d\Phi }}{{dx}}[/tex] ?
