Question Image
Expression for the emf induced in the rotating coil of N turns each of cross-sectional area A, in the presence of a magnetic field B.
In coil A, the area of coil and B the magnetic induction, then flux ϕ linked with the coil is given by
ϕ = B.A
ϕ = B.A cos ωt
The e.m.f induced in the coil is given by
$\begin{array}{l} e = - N \frac{dϕ}{dt} \\ e = - N \frac{d}{dt} (BAcos ωt) \\ e = + NBAωsin ωt \\ e = eosin ωt \end{array}$

OR
$(b) e = B_{H} lv \begin{array}{l} = 0 .3 \times 10^{- 4} \times 10 \times 5 \\ e = 15 \times 10^{- 4} V \end{array}$
