A coil of 60 turns and area 0.04 m² is in a 0.1 T field that drops to zero in 0.2 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 × 0.04 = 0.004 Wb . ε = N (Δ Φ/Δ t) = 60 × (0.004/0.2) = 60 × 0.02 = 1.2 V .
