A circular coil of cross-sectional area 200 cm2 and 20 turns is rotated about the vertical diameter with angular speed of 50 rad s−1 in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 3.0 x 10 -2 T. Calculate the maximum value of the emf in the coil.
Given, area = 200 cm2 = 2 x 10-2 m2

= 4 x 3 x 5 x 10-2 V
= 60 x 10-2 V = 0 6. V
