I know that there is a known equation to calculate the magnetic field strength of a rotating disc which I have made use of in here

Do you agree that revs per minute of the disc turns out to be 9337 rpm?

Thanks for any help! Much appreciated

I'm sure someone else can give a more rigorous derivation, though to derive the initial equation I considered a radial slice of the disk and integrated up all of the incremental emfs along that slice.

That is, ##\int d\varepsilon = \int Bv dr = \int B\omega r dr##

which gives ##\varepsilon = \frac{B\omega r^{2}}{2} = B\pi r^{2}f##

But to answer your question, yes, I agree.

This is a really nice and simply way of looking at it which I hadn't thought of :)
