A coil of 80 turns and area 0.05 m² is in a 0.1 T field that drops to zero in 0.25 s. What is the induced emf?

**Solenoid second coil** experiences emf only when current in solenoid changes because flux linkage changes only then, steady current gives constant Φ, dΦ/dt=0, no emf, when current changes, dΦ/dt ≠0, emf induced, illustrating Faraday's law requirement of changing flux. Δ Φ = B A = 0.1 × 0.05 = 0.005 Wb . ε = N (Δ Φ/Δ t) = 80 × (0.005/0.25) = 80 × 0.02 = 1.6 V . Using Φ = B A cosθ, e = -N dΦ/dt = -N A dB/dt = B l v = N B A ω sinωt, L = μ₀ N²A/l, M = e/(dI/dt) and U = ½
