Step-by-Step Verified Solution

According to Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction, the induced emf in a closed circuit is equal to the negative rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

ε=−dΦdt\varepsilon = -\frac{d\Phi}{dt}

Where ε\varepsilon is the induced emf, and Φ\Phi is the magnetic flux.

To find the magnetic flux Φ\Phi through the rectangular loop, we use the formula:

Φ=B⋅A⋅cos⁡(θ)\Phi = B \cdot A \cdot \cos(\theta)

Where:

  • BB is the magnetic field strength,
  • AA is the area of the loop, and
  • θ\theta is the angle between the magnetic field lines and the normal (perpendicular) to the plane of the loop.

The area AA of the rectangular loop is:

A=length×width=2.5 m×2 m=5 m2A = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 2.5 \mathrm{~m} \times 2 \mathrm{~m} = 5 \mathrm{~m}^2

Given the angle θ=60∘\theta = 60^\circ , we can calculate the initial magnetic flux Φinitial\Phi_{initial} :

Φinitial=B⋅A⋅cos⁡(60∘)\Phi_{initial} = B \cdot A \cdot \cos(60^\circ)

Φinitial=4 T⋅5 m2⋅cos⁡(60∘)\Phi_{initial} = 4 \mathrm{~T} \cdot 5 \mathrm{~m}^2 \cdot \cos(60^\circ)

Φinitial=4⋅5⋅12=10 Wb\Phi_{initial} = 4 \cdot 5 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 10 \mathrm{~Wb}

(Since cos⁡(60∘)=12\cos(60^\circ) = \frac{1}{2} )

When the loop is removed from the magnetic field, the final magnetic flux Φfinal\Phi_{final} is zero, because the loop is no longer within the magnetic field. Thus, the change in magnetic flux ΔΦ\Delta\Phi is:

ΔΦ=Φfinal−Φinitial=0−10 Wb=−10 Wb\Delta\Phi = \Phi_{final} - \Phi_{initial} = 0 - 10 \mathrm{~Wb} = -10 \mathrm{~Wb}

The loop is removed from the field in t=10t = 10 seconds, so the rate of change of magnetic flux is:

dΦdt=ΔΦΔt=−10 Wb10 s=−1 Wb/s\frac{d\Phi}{dt} = \frac{\Delta\Phi}{\Delta t} = \frac{-10 \mathrm{~Wb}}{10 \mathrm{~s}} = -1 \mathrm{~Wb/s}

Now we can find the average induced emf ε\varepsilon :

ε=−dΦdt\varepsilon = -\frac{d\Phi}{dt}

ε=−(−1 Wb/s)\varepsilon = -(-1 \mathrm{~Wb/s})

ε=+1 V\varepsilon = +1 \mathrm{~V}

Therefore, the average induced emf in the loop during this time is +1 V+1 \mathrm{~V} . The correct answer is:

Option C

+1 V+1 \mathrm{~V}
