Magnetic flux through the coil is given by:

ϕ=NBAcosθ\phi = N B A \cos\theta

Since the coil is rotating with angular velocity ω\omega, the angle at time tt is:

θ=ωt\theta = \omega t

Thus, the flux varies as:

ϕ=NBAcos(ωt)\phi = N B A \cos(\omega t)

At the instant when the magnetic field is parallel to the plane of the coil, the normal to the coil is perpendicular to the field. This means:

θ=90  cos(90)=0\theta = 90^\circ \quad \Rightarrow \quad \cos(90^\circ) = 0

 ϕ=NBA×0=0\phi = N B A \times 0 = 0

According to Faraday's Law, the induced EMF is:

ε=dϕdt\varepsilon = - \frac{d\phi}{dt}

Differentiating ϕ=NBAcos(ωt)\phi = N B A \cos(\omega t):

dϕdt=NBAωsin(ωt)\frac{d\phi}{dt} = - N B A \omega \sin(\omega t)

 ε=NBAωsin(ωt)\varepsilon = N B A \omega \sin(\omega t)

At the instant when BB is parallel to the plane of the coil, we already determined that θ=90\theta = 90^\circ (i.e., ωt=90\omega t = 90^\circ or π/2\pi/2).

Since sin90=1\sin 90^\circ = 1, we get:

ε=NBAω\varepsilon = N B A \omega
