The core idea here is Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction: whenever the magnetic flux linked with a coil changes with time, an emf is induced in the coil. The law states that the induced emf is equal to the negative rate of change of flux. The negative sign (Lenz’s law) tells us the direction of the induced emf — it opposes the change causing it. But for magnitude questions like this one, we often just take the absolute value.
The flux is given as a simple polynomial in time: . Notice that the constant term Wb represents a steady flux that doesn’t change with time — it contributes nothing to the induced emf. Only the terms that depend on matter.
Let’s work through it step by step.
- Write down Faraday’s law The instantaneous induced emf is given by:
Here, is in weber (Wb) and in seconds, so comes out in volts (V).
- Differentiate the flux expression
Differentiate term by term:
- Derivative of is
- Derivative of is
- Derivative of (constant) is So:
- Apply the negative sign
- Substitute s
- Interpret the result …
