    A) coil A

    Explanation:

    According to Faraday, Induced emf is given as;

    E. M. F = ΔФ/t

    ΔФ = BACosθ

    where;

    ΔФ is change in magnetic flux

    θ is the angle between the magnetic field, B, and the normal to the loop of area A

    A is the area of the loop

    B is the magnetic field

    From the equation above, induced emf depends on the strength of the magnetic field.

    Both coils have the same area and are oriented at right angles to the field.

    Coil A has a magnetic field strength of 10-T which is greater than 1 T of coil B, thus, coil A will have a greater emf induced in it.
