Faraday's Law in the frequency domain

In summary, Faraday's law states that a changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in a conductor, which can also be generated by an oscillating area. The equation for this is V = -NAωB0 cos(ωt), where N is the number of turns in the loop, B is the magnetic field, A is the area, and f is the frequency. The variable t represents time, and the output voltage is an oscillating voltage just like the magnetic field.

I'm trying to figure out what faraday's law is in terms of frequency rather than time.

I think the equation is V = -N*B*A*2f. Where N is the number of turns in the loop, B is the magnetic field, A is the area and f is the frequency. However I am not totally convinced that my derivation is correct.

You can generate a Faraday induction voltage by either an oscillating magnetic field

B(t) = B0 sin(ωt)

or an oscillating area

A(t) =A0 sin(ωt)

An example of the latter is a conductor loop rotating in a dc magnetic field.

So V(t) = -NAωB0 cos(ωt) or -NBωA0 cos(ωt)

Here, ω = 2πf

I am trying to determine the oscilating magnetic field. In that equation what is t? Is that the period over which i am sampling the antenna?

That makes so much sense! Thanks
