The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Electromagnetic Induction Problem 

Step 1: Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction

Faraday's law states that an emf is induced in a coil when the magnetic flux through the coil changes with time.

Step 2: Magnetic Flux

Magnetic flux (\( \Phi \)) is given by:

\( \Phi = \vec{B} \cdot \vec{A} = BA \cos \theta \)

where \( \vec{B} \) is the magnetic field, \( \vec{A} \) is the area vector of the coil, and \( \theta \) is the angle between the magnetic field and the area vector.

Step 3: Analyze Options

  • A. Moving with uniform speed: If the coil moves with uniform speed in a uniform magnetic field, the flux remains constant (assuming the orientation of the coil relative to the field remains unchanged). Therefore, no emf is induced.
  • B. Moving with non-uniform speed: Similar to case A, if the orientation doesn’t change with respect to the field, a non-uniform speed doesn’t change the flux. Thus no emf is induced.
  • C. Rotating the coil: When the coil rotates in a uniform magnetic field, the angle between the magnetic field and the area vector changes. This changes the magnetic flux, inducing an emf.
  • D. Changing the area: Changing the area of the coil directly changes the magnetic flux, inducing an emf.

Conclusion:

An induced emf can be produced by rotating the coil (C) and by changing the area of the coil (D) (Option 2).

Induced emf can be induced in a coil by changing magnetic flux. And 𝜙 = 𝐵⃗ . 𝑑𝐴⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ By rotating coil, angle between coil and magnetic field changes and hence flux changes. By changing area, magnetic flux changes.
