The magnetic flux through a 150 turns coil increases at the rate of 0.08 wb/s. What is the induced EMF between the ends of the coil?
12 volts
20 volts
24 volts
120 volts
12 volts
The induced electromotive force (EMF) in a coil is determined by Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction. The magnitude of the EMF is directly proportional to the product of the number of turns and the rate of change of magnetic flux.

e=NтЛЕdtd╬жтАЛ тАФ Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction for an N-turn coil
According to Faraday's Law, when the magnetic flux linking a coil changes with respect to time, an EMF is induced across its terminals. For a coil with N turns, the induced EMF (e) is given by e=N├Чdtd╬жтАЛ, where dtd╬жтАЛ is the rate of change of magnetic flux in Webers per second.
The SI unit of induced EMF is Volts (V).
The negative sign in the full expression e=тИТNdtd╬жтАЛ (Lenz's Law) indicates the direction of the EMF opposes the change in flux.
The magnitude calculation relies on the absolute rate of change of flux.

Calculation: N=150, dtd╬жтАЛ=0.08┬аWb/s. Therefore, e=150├Ч0.08=12┬аV.
Option B, C, and D are incorrect because they result from arithmetic errors in multiplying the turns by the rate of flux change.
A is correct тАФ The induced EMF is calculated as the product of 150 turns and 0.08┬аWb/s, which equals 12┬аVolts.
Remember that induced EMF is independent of the resistance of the wire; it only depends on the geometry of the coil and the rate of change of the magnetic flux linkage.
