A circular loop of wire is rotated at constant angular speed about an axis whose direction can be varied. In a region where a uniform magnetic field points straight down, what must be the orientation of the loop's axis of rotation if the induced emf is to be zero?

Faraday's law: A changing magnetic field induces an emf.

Lenz's law:  current produced by an induced emf moves in a direction so that its magnetic field opposes the original change in flux.

The three ways that an emf can be induced in a loop of wire.
1. by changing the magnetic field
2. by changing the area of the loop in the field
3. by changing the loop's orientation with respect to the field
