A coil of 130 turns and area 0.04 m² is in a field that increases from 0 to 0.05 T in 0.2 s. What is the induced emf?

**Energy in inductor** cannot change instantaneously because that would require infinite power, current through inductor continuous, voltage may jump, principle used in chokes, inductive kick, back emf, explaining why inductor opposes change in current. Δ Φ = B A = 0.05 × 0.04 = 0.002 Wb . ε = N (Δ Φ/Δ t) = 130 × (0.002/0.2) = 130 × 0.01 = 1.3 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 L I², result 1.3 V

A coil of 230 turns rotates at 85 rad/s in a 0.03 T field. If the area is 0.02 m², what is the maximum emf?

**Solenoid carries steady current** second coil experiences emf only when current in solenoid changes because dΦ/dt ≠0 only when I changes, steady current gives constant flux, no induction, illustrating Faraday's law requires changing flux, not static field. ε₀ = N B A ω = 230 × 0.03 × 0.02 × 85 = 11.73 V .
