Which graph would best represent the variation of the electric current I in the wire with time t?

KVPYKVPY 2009Electromagnetic Induction

Solution:

As the loop is moving in the region of magnetic flux, induced emf is
$E = Blv$ (volts)
Value of emf remains same till the loop is going in or out of loop.
Direction of induced emf is (in accordance with Lenz’s law) anti-clockwise (taken positive) when loop is going in the region of field and it becomes clockwise as the loop is moving out of region of field.
