SUMMARY
The correct method for finding the induced EMF in a coil involves applying Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, specifically the equation ε = dΦ/dt, where Φ is the magnetic flux. In this case, the coil has a diameter of 4.0 cm and consists of 1000 turns, with the magnetic field described by B = (0.30i + 0.50t²k). At t = 2.0 seconds, the induced EMF is calculated using the formula ε = πr²cosθ * (dB/dt). The correct angle θ must be determined accurately, and a proper diagram should be sketched to visualize the coil's orientation in the magnetic field.
