Figure 6.2 shows a rectangular loop of wire immersed in a nonuniform and varying magnetic
field B that is perpendicular to and directed into the page. The field’s magnitude is given by
B=4t2x2 , with B in teslas, t in seconds, and x in metres. The loop width w = 2.0 m and length l
= 3.0 m. What are the magnitude and direction of the induced emf around the loop at t = 0.10 s?

A coil consists of 200 turns of wire having a total resistance of 2.0 Ω. Each turn is a square of
side 18cm, and a uniform magnetic field directed perpendicular to the plane of the coil is turned
on. If the field changes linearly from 0 to 0.50 T in 0.80 s, what is the magnitude of the induced
emf in the coil while the field is changing?
