    A magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plane of a flat coil of coppered wire. The time variation of the magnetic flux density is given by\[{{B}_{0}}\sin (2\pi t/T),\]as shown graphically in the figure. At which of the following values of t is the magnitude of the emf induced in the coil is maximum?

    A)  \[\frac{T}{8}\]                                  

    B)  \[\frac{T}{4}\]

    C)   \[\frac{3T}{8}\]                                              

    D)  \[\frac{T}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Assume the area of the flat coil of copper wire to be A.                 Then the flux linking the coil is                 \[\phi =BA={{B}_{0}}A\sin \left( \frac{2\pi t}{T} \right)\]                 Thus, the induced emf in the coil is given by                 \[e=\frac{d\phi }{dt}=-\frac{2\pi {{B}_{0}}A}{T}\cos \left( \frac{2\pi t}{T} \right)\]                 Maximum of E occurs when \[cos\frac{2\pi t}{T}=-1\]                 Since\[e=-\frac{d\phi }{dt}=-A=\frac{dB}{dt}\]is the maximum it is obvious from the graph that this occurs at                 \[t=T/2\]
