A coil of 300 turns rotates at 70 rad/s in a 0.07 T field. If the area is 0.012 m², what is the maximum 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. ε₀ = N B A ω = 300 × 0.07 × 0.012 × 70 = 17.64 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 17.64 V follows, reflecting Faraday's law and Lenz's opposition.

**Magnetic energy density** u = B²/(2μ₀), for B=0.5 T, u=0.25/(2×4π×10⁻⁷)=0.25/(2.513×10⁻⁶)=99471 J/m³, large, but volume small, total energy moderate. Inductor stores energy in field, released when current interrupted causing spark. Emf is induced only when magnetic flux changes. A constant field with a stationary loop results in no flux change, hence no emf. 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 No change in magnetic flux follows, reflecting Faraday's law and Lenz's opposition.
