- A region in the form of an equilateral triangle (in x-y plane) of height \( L \) has a uniform magnetic field \( \mathbf{B} \) pointing in the \( +z \)-direction. A conducting loop PQR, in the form of an equilateral triangle of the same height \( L \), is placed in the x-y plane with its vertex \( P \) at \( x = 0 \) in the orientation shown in the figure. At \( t = 0 \), the loop starts entering the region of the magnetic field with a uniform velocity \( \mathbf{v} \) along the \( +x \)-direction. The plane of the loop and its orientation remain unchanged throughout its motion.
Which of the following graphs best depicts the variation of the induced emf (\( \mathcal{E} \)) in the loop as a function of the distance (\( x \)) starting from \( x = 0 \)?- JEE Advanced - 2024
