When a rectangular coil is rotated in a uniform magnetic field about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to the field, the emf induced in the coil varies
linearly
exponentially
sinusoidally
laterally
Solution
When a rectangular coil is rotated in a uniform magnetic field about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to field, then magnetic flux associated with coil is given as
\(\phi=B A \cos \theta=B A \cos \omega t\) ...(i)
\(\therefore\) Induced emf, \(e=-\frac{d \phi}{d t}=-\frac{d}{d t} B A \cos \omega t\) [From Eq. (i)]
\(=+B A \omega \sin \omega t\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad e=e_0 \sin \omega t\) ...(ii)
where, \(e_0\) is the peak value of induced emf. i.e.
\(e_0=B A \omega\)
From Eq. (ii) it is clear that, induced emf varies sinusoidally.
