Question 41

Electromagnetic Induction

A circuit has an area of 0.4m2 and consists of 50 loops of wire. If the loops are twisted and allowed to rotate at a constant angular velocity of 10 rad s−1 in a uniform magnetic field of 0.4T, the amplitude of the induced voltage is

  1. A.8V
  2. B.16V
  3. C.20V
  4. D.80V
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: D (80V)

Explanation

Peak e.m.f. = NBAω = 50 × 0.4 × 0.4 × 10 = 80 V.
