The induced emf is the negative rate of change of flux, e=−dϕdte = -\frac{d\phi}{dt}. Differentiating ϕ=8t2+5t+7\phi = 8t^2 + 5t + 7 gives e=−(16t+5)e = -(16t + 5). At t=4t = 4 s, this evaluates to e=−69e = -69 V, so the magnitude is 69 V, which corresponds to option (D).

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: ϕ=8t2+5t+7\phi = 8t^2 + 5t + 7. Notice that the constant term 77 Wb represents a steady flux that doesn’t change with time — it contributes nothing to the induced emf. Only the terms that depend on tt matter.

Let’s work through it step by step.

  1. Write down Faraday’s law The instantaneous induced emf ee is given by:

e=−dϕdte = -\frac{d\phi}{dt}

Here, ϕ\phi is in weber (Wb) and tt in seconds, so ee comes out in volts (V).

  1. Differentiate the flux expression

ϕ=8t2+5t+7\phi = 8t^2 + 5t + 7

Differentiate term by term:

  • Derivative of 8t28t^2 is 16t16t
  • Derivative of 5t5t is 55
  • Derivative of 77 (constant) is 00 So:

dϕdt=16t+5\frac{d\phi}{dt} = 16t + 5

  1. Apply the negative sign

e=−(16t+5)e = -(16t + 5)

  1. Substitute t=4t = 4 s

e=−(16×4+5)=−(64+5)=−69 Ve = -(16 \times 4 + 5) = -(64 + 5) = -69 \text{ V}
