Math Problem Statement
An emf of 3.7 V is induced in a conductive loop of wire having area 0.8 m^2. What is the change in the magnetic field through this loop if this induction process occurs over 3.6 seconds? (please provide your answer to 1 decimal place)
Solution
The induced electromotive force (emf) in a loop is given by Faraday's Law of Induction:
where:
- is the change in magnetic flux,
- is the area of the loop,
- is the change in magnetic field,
- is the time over which the change occurs,
- is the induced emf.
Step 1: Rearrange Faraday's Law to find :
Taking the magnitude:
Step 2: Substitute the given values:
Step 3: Calculate:

Tip:
Always ensure that units are consistent (e.g., area in square meters, time in seconds) when applying Faraday's Law.
