Applications of Vector Calculus 1067
Assuming that the integrand is continuous and we can bring the derivative outside, we get
−
d

S
(B · n)dS = 120sin(120πt).
Writing this in terms of the magnetic flux φ,wehave
−
d
dt
φ = 120sin(120πt)
or
φ
(t) =−120 sin (120πt).
Integrating this gives us
φ(t) =

π
cos(120π t) +c,
for some constant c.
