A circular wire loop of radius r = 19 cm is immersed in a uniform magnetic field B = 0.690 T with its plane normal to the direction of the field. If the field magnitude then decreases at a constant rate of −1.0×10^-2 T/s, at what rate should r increase so that the induced emf within the loop is zero?



Flux=BAcos(theta)
emf=dq/dt


I tried this and I got an equation of 0=(Bcos0)(dA/dt)+(Acos0)(dB/dt)
and I plugged it into get dA/dt=.0016m^2/s and then i solved for the radius in this case which is .0228m and my answer is supposed to be in mm/s so i got 22.8 mm/s as my answer.
