| Cue | Notes |
|---|---|
| Magnetic Flux | Φ = BA cos θ; maximum when B ⊥ surface (θ = 0); [M ]; unit: Weber (Wb) |
| Faraday 1st | Changing Φ → induced EMF (qualitative) |
| Faraday 2nd | EMF = −dΦ/dt (quantitative); [EMF] = [M ]; unit: V |
| Negative Sign | This IS Lenz's law embedded in the formula |
| N-turn coil | EMF = −N(dΦ/dt) = −d(NΦ)/dt where NΦ = flux linkage |
| Rate matters | EMF depends on dΦ/dt, NOT on Φ itself |
Summary
Flux measures how much B penetrates a surface. Only the RATE of change of flux induces EMF—constant flux (even large) induces nothing. For N turns, multiply by N. Unit analysis: [Wb/s] = [V] confirms the formula.
