Derive the equation relating the total charge QQ that flows through a search coil (Conceptual Example 29.3) to the magnetic-field magnitude BB. The search coil has NN turns, each with area AA, and the flux through the coil is decreased from its initial maximum value to zero in a time ΔtΔt. The resistance of the coil is RR, and the total charge is Q=IΔtQ=IΔt, where II is the average current induced by the change in flux.
