Electromagnetic Induction

Question 1. A square loop of side 1 m and resistance 1 \(\Omega\) is placed in a magnetic field of 0.5%T. If the plane of the loop is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, the magnetic flux through the loop is:

  1. 2 weber
  2. 0.5 weber
  3. 1 weber
  4. Zero weber

Answer: 2. 1 weber

Here, l=1 \(\mathrm{~m}, R=1 \Omega, \mathrm{B}=0.5 \mathrm{~T} \text {, }\)

Angle\(\theta=0^{\circ}\)

Magnetic flux,\(\phi=\mathrm{BA} \cos \theta \)

= 0.5 \(\times 1 \times 1 \times \cos 0^{\circ}\)

= 0.5 \(\mathrm{~Wb}\)

Question 2. A big circular coil of 1000 turns and an average radius of 10 m is rotating about its horizontal diameter at 2 rad s-1. If the vertical component of the earth’s magnetic field at that place is 2 x 10-5 T and the electrical resistance of the coil is 12.56 Ω, then the maximum induced current in the coil will be:

  1. 0.25 A
  2. 1.5 A
  3. 1A
  4. 2 A

Answer: 3. 1A

Here, the number of turns (N) =1000

Radius (r) =10 \(\mathrm{~m}\)

Magnetic field (B) =2 \(\times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}\)

Resistance(R) =12.56 \(\Omega \)

Maximum induced emf, \(\mathrm{E} =N \omega A B\)

= N \(\omega\left(\pi r^2\right) B\)

= 1000 \(\times 2 \times 3.14 \times(10)^2 \times 2 \times 10^{-5}\)

= 12.56 \(\mathrm{~V}\)

Maximum induced current, \(I_{\max }=\frac{E}{R}\)

= \(\frac{12.56}{12.56}=1 \mathrm{~A}\)

Question 3. The magnetic flux linked with a coil (in Wb) is given by the equation \(\phi=5 t^2+3 t+16\). The magnitude of induced emf in the coil at the fourth second will be :

  1. 33 V
  2. 43 V
  3. 108 V
  4. 10 V

Answer: 4. 10 V

Given: Magnetic flux, \((\phi)=5 t^2+3 t+16\)

Induced emf, |E| =\(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\)

= \(\frac{d}{d t}\left(5 t^2+3 t+16\right)\)

= 10 t+3

Therefore induced emf, when t=3,

⇒ \(|E_3|=(10 \times 3)+3=33 \mathrm{~V}\)

and induced emf, when, t =4,

⇒ \(\left|E_4\right| =(10 \times 4)+3=43 \mathrm{~V}\)

Therefore emf induced in the fourth second

= \(|\varepsilon_4|-|\varepsilon_3|\)

= 43-33=10\( \mathrm{~V}\)

Question 4. A coil of 800 turns and an effective area of 0.05 m2 is kept perpendicular to a magnetic field 5 x 10-5 T. When the plane of the coil is rotated by 90° around any of its co-planner axis in 0.1 s. The emf induced in the coil will be :

  1. 0.2 V
  2. 2 x 10-3 V
  3. 0.02 V
  4. 2 V

Answer: 3. 0.02 V

Here, N = 800 turn

A =0.05 \(\mathrm{~m}^2=5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}^2\)

B =5 \(\times 10^5 \mathrm{~T}\)

⇒ \(\Delta t =0.15 \mathrm{sec}\)

We know that,

⇒ \(e_{\text {induced }} =-\frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}\)

⇒ \(\Delta \phi =\phi_f-\phi_i \)

⇒ \(\phi_f=0, \phi_i =N(\vec{B} \cdot \vec{A})\)

= 800 \(\times 5 \times 10^{-5} \times 5 \times 10^{-2}\)

= 2 \(\times 10^{-3} \)

⇒ \(e_{\text {induced }} =-\frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}=\frac{-\left(0-2 \times 10^{-3}\right)}{0.1}\)

=0.02 \(\mathrm{~V}\)

Question 5. A uniform magnetic field is restricted within a region of radius r. The magnetic field changes with time at a rate\(\frac{d B}{d t}\). Loop 1 of radius R > r encloses the region r and loop 2 of radius R is outside the region of the magnetic field as shown in the figure. Then, the emf generated is:

Electromagnetic Induction A Uniform Magnetic Field Is Restricted Within A Region Of Radius

  1. zero in loop 1 and zero in loop 2
  2. –\(\frac{d B}{d t} \pi r^2 \)in loop 1 and\( -\frac{d B}{d t} \pi r^2\) in loop 2
  3. –\(\frac{d B}{d t} \pi \mathrm{R}^2\) in loop 1 and zero in loop 2
  4. –\(\frac{d B}{d} \pi r^2\) in loop 1 and zero in loop 2

Answer: 3. –\(\frac{d B}{d t} \pi \mathrm{R}^2\) in loop 1 and zero in loop 2

We know that induced emf in the region is given by

|e| =\(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\)

⇒ \(\frac{d \phi}{d t} =-\pi r^2 \frac{d B}{d t} \)

⇒ \({\phi=B A=\pi r^2 B e A=\pi r^2}\)

⇒ \(\frac{d \phi}{d t} =-\pi r^2 \frac{d B}{d t}\)

From the question, Rate of change of magnetic flux associated with loop (1)

⇒ \(e_1=-\frac{d \phi_1}{d t}=-\pi r^2 \frac{d B}{d t}\)

and Rate of change of magnetic flux associated with loop (2)

=\(-\frac{d \phi_2}{d t}\)=0 { since } \({\phi_2=0}\)

Question 6. A thin semicircular conducting ring (PQR) of radius V is falling with its plane vertically in a horizontal magnetic field B, as shown in the figure. The potential difference developed across the ring when its speed is v is:

Electromagnetic Induction A Thin Semicircular Conducting Ring Of Radius

  1. Zero
  2. Bvπ² and P is at higher potential
  3. πrBv and R is at higher potential
  4. 2rBr and R is at higher potential.

Answer: 4. 2rBr and R is at higher potential.

Rate of decrease of area of semicircular ring = \(\frac{d A}{d t}=(2 r) \mathrm{V}\)

From Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction = e=\(-\frac{d \phi}{d t}=-B \frac{d A}{d t}=-B(2 r \mathrm{~V})\)

Electromagnetic Induction The Potential Difference Developed Across The Ring When Its Speed

As induced current in the ring produces a magnetic field in an upward direction hence R is at higher potential.

Question 7. A wire loop is rotated in a magnetic field. The frequency of change of direction of the induced e.m.f is:

  1. twice per revolution
  2. four times per revolution
  3. six times per revolution
  4. once per revolution.

Answer: 1. twice per revolution

This is the case of periodic EMI.

Electromagnetic Induction A Wire Loop Is Rotated In A Magnetic Field

From the graph, it is clear that direction is changing once in \(\frac{1}{2}\) cycle.

Question 8. A coil of resistance 400 \(\Omega\) is placed in a magnetic field. If the magnetic flux \(\phi\)(Wb) linked with the coil varies with time t (sec) as \(\phi=50 t^2+4\). The current in the coil at t = 2 s is:

  1. 0.5 A
  2. 0.1A
  3. 2 A
  4. 1 A

Answer: 1. 0.5 A

We know that, Induced emf of coil,

E= \(|-\frac{d \phi}{d t}|_t\)

Given that, \(\phi=50 t^2+4\) and R=400 \(\Omega\)

E = \(|\frac{-d \phi}{d t}|_{t=2}[100 t]_{t=2}\)

= 200 \(\mathrm{~V}\)

Current in the coil I=\(\frac{E}{R}=\frac{200}{400}\)

=0.5 \(\mathrm{~A} \text {. }\)

Question 9. A conducting circular loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field. B = 0.025 T with its plane perpendicular to the loop. The radius of the loop is made to shrink at a constant rate of 1 mms-1. The induced emf when the radius is 2 cm, is:

  1. 2 \(\pi \mu V\)
  2. \(\pi \mu \mathrm{V}\)
  3. \(\frac{\mu}{2} \mu \mathrm{V}\)
  4. 2 \(\mu \mathrm{V}\)

Answer: 2. \(\pi \mu \mathrm{V}\)

We know that, \(\phi=B A\)

⇒ \(E_{\text {in }} =\frac{-d \phi}{d t} \)

⇒ \(E_{\text {in }} =-\frac{d}{d t}(B A)\)

⇒ \(E_{\text {ir }} =-B \pi 2 r \frac{d r}{d t} \)

E =-B \(\pi 2 r \frac{d r}{d t} \)

-0.025 \(\times \pi \times 2 \times 2 \times 10^{-1} \times 10^{-3}\)

Compare with original formula, induced emf =\(\pi \mu \mathrm{V}\)

Question 10. A conducting circular loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.04 T with its plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. The radius of the loop starts shrinking at 2 mms-1. The induced emf in the loop, when the radius is 2 cm, is:

  1. \(3.2 \pi \mu \mathrm{V}\)
  2. 4.8 \(\pi \mu \mathrm{V}\)
  3. 0.8 \(\pi \mu \mathrm{V}\)
  4. 1.6 \(\pi \mu \mathrm{V}\)

Answer: 1. \(3.2 \pi \mu \mathrm{V}\)

According to the question,

Magnetic field, B=0.04 \(\mathrm{~T}\)

and \(-\frac{d r}{d t}=2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)

Induced emf is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux linked with the circuit

Induced emf, e =\(-\frac{d \phi}{d t}\)

=-\(\frac{B d A}{d t}=-B \frac{d\left(\pi r^2\right)}{d t}\)

If r=2 \(\mathrm{~cm}\) then,

e =-0.04 \(\times \pi \times 2 \times 2 \times 10^{-2} \times 2 \times 10^{-3} \)

=3.2 \(\pi \mu \mathrm{V}\)

Question 11. A beam of electrons passes undeflected through mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. If the electric field is switched off, and the same magnetic field is maintained, the electrons move:

  1. 1A
  2. 50 A
  3. 0.5 A
  4. 5 A

Answer: 3. 0.5 A

Total number of turns, N=20

Area of coil, A =25 \(\mathrm{~cm}^2 \)

=25 \(\times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}^2\)

Change in magnetic field w.r.t. $t

⇒ \(\frac{d B}{d t}=1000 \mathrm{~T} / \mathrm{s}\)

Resistance of coil, R=100 \(\Omega\)

i = ?

We have, Induced current, i=\(\frac{e}{R}\)

= \(\frac{N A \frac{d B}{d t}}{R} \cdot[e=N A \frac{d B}{d t}]\)

= \(\frac{20 \times 25 \times 10^{-4} \times 1000}{100}\)

= 0.5 \(\mathrm{~A}\)

Electromagnetic Induction An Electron Moves on A Straight Line Path

  1. abcd
  2. adcb
  3. The current will reverse its direction as the electron goes past the coil
  4. No current induced.

Answer: 3. The current will reverse its direction as the electron goes past the coil

When the electron goes in a straight line electric flux first increases and then decreases.

Question 15. A conductor of length 0.4 m is moving with a speed of 7 m/s perpendicular to a magnetic field of intensity 0.9 Wb/m². The induced emf across the conductor is:

  1. 1.26 V
  2. 2.52 V
  3. 5.04 V
  4. 25.2 V

Answer: 2. 2.52 V

Given, length of conductor (l)=0.4 \(\mathrm{~m}\),

speed \((v)=7 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)

Magnetic field (B)=0.9 \(\mathrm{~Wb} / \mathrm{m}^2\)

Induced emf, e=B I v \(\sin \theta\)

⇒ \([\theta=90^{\circ}.\) as B is perpendicular to V

=0.9 \(\times 0.4 \times 7 \times \sin 90^{\circ}\)

=2.52 \(\mathrm{~V}\)

Question 16. In the circuit of Fig, the bulb will become suddenly bright if

Electromagnetic In The Circuit The Bulb Become Suddenly Bright

  1. contact is made or broken
  2. contact is made
  3. contact is broken
  4. won’t become bright at all.

Answer: 3. contact is broken

When a circuit is broken, the induced e.m.f. is largest. So the answer is (C).

Question 17. A wheel with 20 metallic spokes, each 1 m long, is rotated with a speed of 120 rpm in a plane perpendicular to a magnetic field of 0.4 G. The induced emf between the axle and rim of the wheel will be (1 G = \(10^{-4}\) T):

  1. 2.51 \(\times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~V}\)
  2. 2.51 \(\times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. 40 \(\times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. 2.51 \(\mathrm{~V}\)

Answer: 1. 2.51 \(\times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~V}\)

In the question, B =0.4 \(\mathrm{G}=0.4 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}\)

l =1 \(\mathrm{~m} \)

f =120 \(\mathrm{rpm}=\frac{120}{60} \mathrm{rps}=2 \mathrm{~Hz}\)

Induced emf between the axle and rim of the wheel is:

e =\(\frac{1}{2} B \omega l^2 \)

= \(\frac{1}{2} B(2 \pi f) l^2=\pi B f l^2 \)

= 3.14 \(\times 0.4 \times 10^{-4} \times 2 \times 1\)

= 2.51 \(\times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~V}\) .

Question 18. A cycle wheel of radius 0.5 m is rotated with a constant angular velocity of 10 rad/s in a region of the magnetic field of 0.1 T which is perpendicular to the plane of the wheel. The EMF generated between its center and the rim is :

  1. 0.25 V
  2. 0.125 V
  3. 0.5 V
  4. zero

Answer: 2. 0.125 V

According to the question

Electromagnetic Induction A Cycle Wheel Of Radius is Rotated With A Constant Angular Velocity

e =\(\frac{B I^2 \omega}{2} \)

= \(\frac{1}{2} \times 0.1 \times\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 \times 10=\frac{1}{8} \)

= 0.125 \(\mathrm{~V}\)

Question 19. A conducting square frame of length ‘a’ and a long straight wire carrying current / are located in the same plane as shown in the figure. The frame moves to the right with a constant velocity of V. The emf induced in the frame will be proportional to:

Electromagnetic Induction A Conducting Square Frame Of Length And A Straight Wire Carrying Current

  1. \(\frac{1}{x^2}\)
  2. \(\frac{1}{(2 x-a)^2}\)
  3. \(\frac{1}{(2 x+a)^2}\)
  4. \(\frac{1}{(2 x-a)(2 x+a)}\)

Answer: 4. \(\frac{1}{(2 x-a)(2 x+a)}\)

Electromagnetic Induction The EMF Induced In The Frame Will Proportional To The Velocity

Potential difference across \(\mathrm{AB}\) is,

⇒ \(V_A-V_B=e_1=B_1(a) v\)

Where, \(B_1\)= magnetic field induction at A B

But, \(B_1=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{2 i}{\left(x-\frac{a}{2}\right)}\)

Putting the value of B_1 in eq. (1),

⇒ \(e_1=\frac{\mu_0 i}{2 \pi\left(x-\frac{a}{2}\right)} a v\)

Potential difference \(\mathrm{CD}\) is given by

⇒ \(V_C-V_D=e_2=B_2(a) v\)

But, \(\mathrm{B}_2=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \cdot \frac{2 i}{\left(x+\frac{a}{2}\right)}\)

⇒ \(e_2=\frac{\mu_0 i}{2 \pi\left(x+\frac{a}{2}\right)} a v\)

The net potential difference in the loop \(\mu\)

⇒ \(e_1-e_2 =\left(V_A-V_B\right)-\left(V_C-V_D\right) \)

= \(\frac{\mu_0 i^{\prime} a v}{2 \pi}\left(\frac{1}{x-\frac{a}{2}}-\frac{1}{x+\frac{a}{2}}\right) \)

= \(\frac{\mu_0 i^{\prime} a v}{2 \pi}\left(\frac{2 a}{\left(x-\frac{a}{2}\right)\left(x+\frac{a}{2}\right)}\right)\)

Hence clear that it is Proportional to \(\frac{1}{(2 x-a)(2 x+a)}\)

Question 20. In coil of resistance 10 \(\Omega\) the induced current developed by changing magnetic flux through it is shown in the figure as a function of time. The magnitude of change in flux through the coil in Weber is:

Electromagnetic Induction In A Coil Of Resistance The Induced Current Developed By Changing Magnetic Flux

  1. 8
  2. 2
  3. 6
  4. 4

Answer: 2. 2

Here, I=\(\left|\frac{1}{R} \frac{d \phi}{d t}\right|\)

⇒ \(|d \phi|=|I R d t| \)

⇒ \(d \phi=(\text { Area of triangle }) \times R\)

=\(\left(\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 0.1\right) \times 10=2 \mathrm{~Wb}\)

Question 21. The magnetic flux through a circuit of resistance R changes by an amount \(\Delta \phi\) in a time \(\Delta t\). Then the total quantity of electric charge Q that passes any point in the circuit during the time \(\Delta t\) is represented by:

  1. Q=\(\frac{1}{R} \cdot \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}\)
  2. Q=\(\frac{\Delta \phi}{R}\)
  3. Q=\(\frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}\)
  4. Q=R \(\cdot \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}\)

Answer: 2. Q=\(\frac{\Delta \phi}{R}\)

According to the question on induced emf is:

V =\(\frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta \lambda}\)

and current, I =\(\frac{Q}{\Delta t}=\frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t} \times \frac{1}{R} \)

Q =\(\frac{\Delta \phi}{R}\)

Question 22. In which of the following devices, the eddy current effect is not used?

  1. Magnetic braking in train
  2. Electromagnet
  3. Electric heater
  4. Induction furnace

Answer: 3. Electric heater

Eddy currents are loops of electrical current induced within a conductor by a changing magnetic field in the conductor according to Faraday’s law of induction. Eddy currents flow in closed loops within conductors, in planes perpendicular to the magnetic field. Electric heaters are not based on the eddy current effect. It is based on Joule’s heating effect

  2. \(\frac{R_2}{R_1}\)
  3. \(\frac{R_1^2}{R_2}\)
  4. \(\frac{R_2^2}{R_1}\)

Answer: 3.\(\frac{R_1^2}{R_2}\)

Given, Radii of loops, \(R_1\) and \(R_2\),

⇒ \(R_1 >>R_2 \)

M =?

we know, \(M_{12}=\frac{\mu_0 N_1 N_2 \pi R_1^2}{l}\)

⇒ \(M_{21}=\frac{\mu_0 N_1 N_2 \pi R_2^2}{l}\)

∴ \(\frac{M_1}{M_2}=\frac{R_1^2}{R_2^2}\)

Given, U=25 \(\mathrm{~mJ} =25 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~J}\)

I =60 \(\mathrm{~mA}=60 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A}\)

Energy stored in inductor, E=\(\frac{1}{2} L \times I^2\)

⇒ \(25 \times 10^{-3} =\frac{1}{2} L \times(60 \times(-3))^2\)

L =\(\frac{25 \times 2 \times 10^6 \times 10^{-3}}{3600}=\frac{500}{36} \)

=13.89 Henry

Electromagnetic Induction The Correct Variation of Voltage With Time In The Coil Is

Answer: 4.

From the diagram, for t=0 to t=T / 2. induced voltage

V =L \(\frac{d I}{d t}\)

= L \(\frac{d}{d t}\left(\frac{2 I_0 t}{T}\right)\)= constant

For t=\(\frac{T}{2}\) to t=T induced

V =L \(\frac{d I}{d t}\)

=L \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{d t}\left(\frac{-2 I_0 t}{T}\right)\)=- constant

This confirms that option (D) is correct.

Electromagnetic Induction The Current i In A Coil Varies With The Time As Shown In The Figure

Electromagnetic Induction The Variation induced EMF With Time

Answer: 4.

We know that, e=-L \(\frac{d I}{d t}\)

During 0 to \(\frac{T}{4}, \frac{d I}{d t}\)= constant

e=\(-V_0\)

For \(T_4\) to\( T_2\), \(\frac{d I}{d t}\)=0

e=0

For \(\frac{T}{2} to \frac{3 T}{4}, \frac{d I}{d t}\)= constant

e=+ve

  1. 16 mH
  2. 10 mH
  3. 6 mH
  4. 4 mH

Answer: 4. 4 mH

Mutual inductance between coils is,

M =k \(\sqrt{I_1 I_2}\)

M =1 \(\sqrt{2 \times 10^{-3} \times 8 \times 10^{-3}} \) {x=1}

= 4 \(\times 10^{-3}=4 \mathrm{mH} \)

  2. 3s
  3. 2s
  4. 1s

Answer: 3. 2s

L=2 \(\mathrm{mH}, i=i^2 e^{-t}\)

E=-L \(\frac{d i}{d t}=-L\left[-t^2 e^{-t}+2 t e^{-t}\right]\)

when, E=0,

⇒ \(-e^{-t} t^2+2 t e^{-1}\)=0

i.e. \(t e^{-t}(t-2)\)=0

t \(\neq \infty\) and t \(\neq 0\)

-t \(\neq 2 \mathrm{sec} (t e^{-t}=0\)

or, \(2 t e^{-t}=e^{-1} t^2 \)

t=2 \(\mathrm{sec} \)

Question 32. A varying current in a coil changes from 10 A to zero in 0.5 s. If the average emf induced in the coil is 220 V, the self-inductance of the coil is:

  1. 5 H
  2. 6 H

Answer: 3. 11 H

Emf induced in the coil of self-inductance, L

e=-L \(\frac{d \phi}{d t}=-\frac{d}{d t}(L i) \text { or } e=-L \frac{d i}{d t}\)

⇒ \((\frac{d i}{d t}\)= rate of flow of current in coil

As, d i\(=i_2-i_1=0-10=-10 \mathrm{~A} \)

d t=0.5 \(\mathrm{~s}\)

e=220 \(\mathrm{~V} \)

220=-L \(\frac{(-10)}{0.5}\)

or , L=\(\frac{220}{20}=11 \mathrm{H} \)

Question 33. What is the self-inductance of a coil that produces 5 V when the current changes from 3 A to 2 A in one millisecond?

  1. 5000 H
  2. 5 mH
  3. 50 H
  4. 5 H

Answer: 2. 5 mH

Emf induced in the coil is given by,

e=-\(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\)

If the coil has self-inductance (L) and current i, then induced emf is given by

e =-\(\frac{d}{d t}(\mathrm{Li}) or \mathrm{e}=-\mathrm{L} \frac{d i}{d t} \)

⇒ \(\mathrm{L} =\frac{\frac{|e|}{d i}}{d t}\)

Given, e \(\mid =5 \mathrm{~V}, d i=3-2=1 \mathrm{~A} \)

d t =1 \(\mathrm{~ms}=1 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~s} \)

∴ \(\mathrm{~L} =\frac{5 \times 10^{-3}}{1}=5 \mathrm{mH}\)

Question 34. If the number of turns per unit length of a coil of solenoid is doubled, the self-inductance of the solenoid will:

  1. remain unchanged
  2. halved
  3. be doubled
  4. become four times

Answer: 4. become four times

A long solenoid is one whose length is significantly greater than its cross-section radius. If N is the total number of turns in the solenoid, A is the area of each turn, and 1 is the length of the solenoid, then the self-inductance of the solenoid is L=\(\frac{\mu_0 N^2 A}{I} \Rightarrow L=\mu_0 n^2 A I\)

L=\(\frac{\mu_0 N^2 A}{I} \Rightarrow L=\mu_0 n^2 A I\)

(If the number of turns per unit length is \(\mathrm{n}.)\)

So,\(\mathrm{L} \alpha \mathrm{n}^2\)

When \(n^2\) is doubled, L becomes 4 times.

Question 35. A wire loop is rotated in a magnetic field. The frequency of change of direction of the induced emf is:

  1. once per revolution
  2. twice per revolution
  3. four times per revolution
  4. six times per revolution

Answer: 2. twice per revolution

The flux of the magnetic field through the 100 \(\pi\) is,

⇒ \(\phi=B \pi r^2 \cos \omega t\)

where \(\theta\)= angle the normal makes with the portion of the 100 \(\pi\) induced emf

⇒ \(\varepsilon=\omega B \pi r^2 \sin \omega t\)

These is zero when \(\omega t=n \pi\) i.e.,

when, \(\theta=0, \pi, 2 \pi \ldots\). etc.,

So, the induced emf changes direction every half rotation.
