The magnetic flux linked with a coil is given by the equation: $\phi = 8t^2 + t + 10$. The e.m.f. induced in the coil at $t = 3$ seconds will be:

  • Correct answer
    A
    49 V
  • B
    16 V
  • C
    33 V
  • D
    20 V

Solution

The magnetic flux linked with the coil is given by $\phi = 8t^2 + t + 10$.

The induced electromotive force (e.m.f.) in the coil is given by Faraday's law of induction: $\varepsilon = -\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$.

Differentiating the flux with respect to time $t$:
$\dfrac{d\phi}{dt} = \dfrac{d}{dt}(8t^2 + t + 10) = 16t + 1$.

The magnitude of the induced e.m.f. is $|\varepsilon| = |-(16t + 1)| = 16t + 1$.

The e.m.f. induced in the $3^{\text{rd}}$ second refers to the instantaneous e.m.f. at $t = 3$ s.

Substituting $t = 3$ into the expression for the magnitude of the e.m.f.:
$|\varepsilon| = 16(3) + 1 = 48 + 1 = 49$ V.

Answer: 49 V

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
