An airplane with a wing span of 60 m flies horizontally at a location where the downward component of the Earth's magnetic field is 6.0 ˛ 10-5 T. Find the magnitude of the induced emf between the tips of the wings when the speed of the plane is 225 m/s.

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
