Homework Statement
At what average rate does the magnetic field need to change to induce emf of 1.0 V.
See attachment question 1.
Relevant Equations
See attachment solution.
Why does Δ(BA) = AΔ(B) when A is constant?
Is there a proof for this algebra?
Thanks

  • Printed problem text: A loop of cross-sectional area 0.050 m² is in a variable magnetic field. At what average rate does the field need to change to induce an emf of 1.0 V between the ends of the loop? Assume the loop stays perpendicular to the field.

  • Worked solution on a page: loop of area A = 0.050 m² in a changing field; ε = -ΔΦ/Δt = -Δ(BA)/Δt = -A ΔB/Δt (last step boxed in red); ΔB/Δt = -ε/A = -1.0 V / 0.050 m² = 20 T/s.
