A coil is wrapped with 300 turns of wire on the perimeter of a circular frame (radius = 8.0 cm). Each turn has the same area, equal to that of the frame. A uniform magnetic field is turned on perpendicular to the plane of the coil. This field changes at a constant rate from 20 to 80 mT in a time of 20 ms. What is the magnitude of the induced emf in the coil at the instant the magnetic field has a

magnitude of 50 mT? a. 24 V b. 18 V c. 15 V d. 10 V e. 30 V
