Find the current induced by a magnetic field, and the power

[Parad0x88]

Homework Statement

A technician wearing a brass bracelet enclosing area 0.005 00 m² places her hand in a solenoid whose magnetic field is 5.00 T directed perpendicular to the plane of the bracelet. The electrical resistance around the circumference of the bracelet is 0.020 0 Ω. An unexpected power failure causes the field to drop to 1.50 T in a time of 20.0 ms. Find (a) the current induced in the bracelet and (b) the power delivered to the bracelet.

Homework Equations

ΔB = 5.00T - 1.50T = 3.5T (which I will use)
A = 0.005 m²
R = 0.02Ω
t = 0.02s
Flux = BA
ε = Flux/t
I = ε/R
P = ε²/R

The Attempt at a Solution

Flux = 3.5T X .005m² = 0.0175 Wb
ε = 0.0175 / 0.02s = 0.875 V
I = 0.875V / 0.02Ω = 43.75A

and

P = 0.875²/0.02 = 38.28w

My question is: Did I handle correctly the difference in Magnetic field by using 5-1.5?

Yes. The induced emf is equal to the change in flux divided by the time interval. ε = \Delta \Phi/\Delta t. So, you are correct to use the change in B to find the change in the flux.
