For a magnetic flux, what is the definition of area?
In a case,a disc rotate inside a solenoid which face the magnetic field.People define that there is an change in area hence it will induce EMF, and the area=pi r^2 x/2pi=r^2 x/2,dA/dt=r^2 w/2.But why we define this as the area?In fact, if we define the disc area,the area is always 2pi r^2.
For a rectangular coil moving toward right, B-field is set to be pointing in the paper, we say there is no induced EMF in this case,since no rate of change in magnet flux. Indeed, if we define the area be the area traveled by the coil, it seems there is changing in area, can we say it induce EMF?
