Solution:

(a)
Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction states that the (induced) e.m.f. is proportional to the rate of
change of (magnetic) flux (linkage).

(b)
{Area A = π × r2}
flux linkage = BAN
flux linkage = π × 10-3 × 2.8 × π × (1.6 × 10-2)2 × 85 = 6.0 × 10-4 Wb

(c)
e.m.f. = ΔNΦ / Δt
e.m.f. = (6.0 × 10-4 × 2) / 0.30
e.m.f. = 4.0 mV

(d)
sketch:

{The e.m.f. induced is proportional to the rate of change of flux. If the current is constant (not changing), there
is no change in flux. So, no e.m.f. is induced (zero).}
E = 0 for t = 0 → 0.3 s, 0.6 s → 1.0 s, 1.6 s → 2.0 s

{As calculated from part(c), when the current is reversed, the e.m.f. induced = 4 mV}
E = 4 mV for t = 0.3 s → 0.6 s (either polarity)

{From t = 1.0 s → 1.6, the e.m.f. induced is 2 mV (half the previous value) as the time 2 times longer. (e.m.f. = ΔNΦ / Δt).}
E = 2 mV for t = 1.0 s → 1.6 s with opposite polarity
