Flux and Faraday's law

Magnetic flux
8× asked, last 2026
Φ=B⃗⋅A⃗=BAcos⁡θ\Phi=\vec B\cdot\vec A=BA\cos\theta
θ\theta from the normal; 1 Wb = 1 T m2^2. Only BB along the normal counts.
Faraday's law
21× asked, last 2026
e=−NdΦdt,∣eavg∣=N∣ΔΦ∣Δt,I=eRe=-N\frac{d\Phi}{dt},\qquad |e_{\text{avg}}|=N\frac{|\Delta\Phi|}{\Delta t},\qquad I=\frac eR
Minus sign = Lenz. Changing area: e=B dA/dte=B\,dA/dt; circle: 2πrB dr/dt2\pi rB\,dr/dt.
Sinusoidal field through a loop
B=B0sin⁡ωt ⇒ emax⁡=NB0ωAcos⁡θB=B_0\sin\omega t\ \Rightarrow\ e_{\max}=NB_0\omega A\cos\theta
Loop in a solenoid: emax⁡=μ0nI0ωAe_{\max}=\mu_0nI_0\omega A. Wider ring: only the solenoid's area links flux.
Induced charge
1× asked, last 2023
Δq=N∣ΔΦ∣R\Delta q=\frac{N|\Delta\Phi|}R
Independent of speed. Reversed field: ΔΦ=2BA\Delta\Phi=2BA.
Heat in the loop
8× asked, last 2026
P=e2R,H=∫e2R dt,R=ρlπr2P=\frac{e^2}R,\qquad H=\int\frac{e^2}R\,dt,\qquad R=\frac{\rho l}{\pi r^2}
Coil in a changing field: II independent of NN; P∝NA3/2r2P\propto NA^{3/2}r^2. 1 G =10−4=10^{-4} T.
