The figure shows planar loops of different shapes moving out of or into a region of a magnetic field which is directed normal to the plane of the loop away from the reader. Determine the direction of induced current in each loop using Lenz's law.

(N/A) $(i)$ The magnetic flux through the rectangular loop $abcd$ increases due to the motion of the loop into the region of the magnetic field. The induced current must flow along the path $bcdab$ so that it opposes the increasing flux.
$(ii)$ Due to the outward motion,the magnetic flux through the triangular loop $abc$ decreases,due to which the induced current flows along $bacb$ to oppose the change in flux.
$(iii)$ As the magnetic flux decreases due to the motion of the irregular-shaped loop $abcd$ out of the region of the magnetic field,the induced current flows along $cdabc$ to oppose the change in flux.
Note that there is no induced current as long as the loops are completely inside or outside the region of the magnetic field.

Magnetic flux (in weber) in a closed circuit of resistance $20\,\Omega$ varies with time $t(s)$ as $\phi = 8t^2 - 9t + 5$. The magnitude of the induced current at $t = 0.25\,s$ will be $...mA$.

$A$ coil having effective area '$A$' is held with its plane normal to a magnetic field of induction '$B$'. The magnetic induction is quickly reduced to $25\%$ of its initial value in $1 \text{ s}$. The e.m.f. induced in the coil (in volt) will be

Assertion $(A)$: When a circular coil,placed in a region with its plane parallel to a magnetic field,expands radially outwards,no emf is induced in it.
Reason $(R)$: There is a constant magnetic field in the perpendicular (to the plane of the coil) direction.

$A$ circular coil has $100$ turns,radius $3 \ cm$ and resistance $4 \Omega$. This coil is co-axial with a solenoid of $200$ turns/cm and diameter $4 \ cm$. If the solenoid current is decreased from $2 \ A$ to zero in $0.04 \ s$,then the current induced in the coil is
