Lou · Answer 1

3.9 V

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Number of turns, N = 50

Diameter of coil = 15 cm = 0.15 m

Radius of coil, r = 0.075 m

Magnetic field, B = 0.5 T

Angle = 30°

Time, t = 0.1 secs

E. M. F induced is given as:

EMF = (B * A * N * cos30) / t

Where A = area of coil = pi * r²

A = 3.142 * 0.075² = 0.018 m²

EMF = (0.5 * 0.018 * 50 * 0.866) / 0.1

EMF = 3.9 V
