We will use the example of a bar magnet moving away from a wire coil to highlight these steps and to show how you can use a table to keep track of your work. While the specifics of the table will change depending on the context, the structure and steps will work no matter what problem you are solving. So to get started you should make a table like the one shown to the right with 8 columns. The first column will be for a picture/ | We will use the example of a bar magnet moving away from a wire coil to highlight these steps and to show how you can use a table to keep track of your work.

Next we need to determine the direction of the magnetic field through the relevant area. For this situation, the relevant area is going to be our coils, so we are particularly interested in the direction of the B-field through the coils. Remember for a bar magnet, the magnetic field should point out from the north side of the magnet, wrap around, and point into the south side of the magnet. Since our coil is next to the south side of the magnet, this means the magnetic field inside the coil will mostly be pointing to the left (in towards the south side of the magnet). So in the second column we will put an arrow to the left. | Next we need to determine the direction of the magnetic field through the relevant area.

Remember that the $d\vec{A}$ is perpendicular to the cross section area of the coils. Meaning, that you can think of the $d\vec{A}$ as pointing "out of” the coil. For our set up, this means that $d\vec{A}$ could point either to the left or right (-x or +x direction).
