Magnetic FluxΦ = BA cos θ; maximum when B ⊥ surface (θ = 0); [M L2L^{2} T2T^{-2} A1A^{-1}]; unit: Weber (Wb)
Faraday 1stChanging Φ → induced EMF (qualitative)
Faraday 2ndEMF = −dΦ/dt (quantitative); [EMF] = [M L2L^{2} T3T^{-3} A1A^{-1}]; unit: V
Negative SignThis IS Lenz's law embedded in the formula
N-turn coilEMF = −N(dΦ/dt) = −d(NΦ)/dt where NΦ = flux linkage
Rate mattersEMF 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.
