help me how to solve this problem ??(e.m.f)

A rectangular loop with sides of length a= 1.80 cm and b= 2.10 cm is placed near a wire that carries a current that varies as a function of time: it=2.92 + 1.19t2 where the current is in Amperes and the time is in seconds. The distance from the straight wire to the closest side of the loop is d= 0.290 cm.

the figure is here : http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/5849/prob09awloop2aa6.gif


1) What is the magnetic flux through the loop at time t= 2.50 seconds? (Define positive flux into the page.)

my answer is :

(mu0*I/2*pi)*b*ln[(d+a)/d]
=8.59×10-8 T*m^2


2) What is the induced e.m.f. in the loop at time t= 2.50 seconds?
(Note that positive emf is clockwise. Compute the rate of change of magnetic flux through the loop to get the e.m.f.. )

help me how to solve this problem ??

What's the rate of change of magnetic flux through the loop? You can use your expression from part 1.
 


HINT: Maxwell's Equations... which equation has something regarding the change in magnetic flux?
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
