The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Induced emf in a coil is given by \[ \varepsilon = L \frac{di}{dt} \] where \(L\) is the inductance of the solenoid. For a long solenoid \[ L = \mu_0 n^2 A \ell \] where \[ n = \text{turns per unit length}, \quad A = \text{area}, \quad \ell = \text{length of solenoid} \]
Step 1:
Convert given quantities to SI units. \[ \ell = 30\,\text{cm} = 0.3\,\text{m} \] \[ n = 10\,\text{turns/cm} = 1000\,\text{turns/m} \] Total turns \[ N = n\ell = 1000 \times 0.3 = 300 \]
Step 2:
Calculate rate of change of current. \[ \frac{di}{dt} = \frac{4-2}{3.14} \] \[ \frac{di}{dt} = \frac{2}{3.14} \]
Step 3:
Find inductance of the solenoid. \[ L = \mu_0 n^2 A \ell \] \[ L = (4\pi \times 10^{-7})(1000)^2 A (0.3) \] \[ L = 1.2\pi \times 10^{-1} A \,H \]
Step 4:
Calculate induced emf. \[ \varepsilon = L \frac{di}{dt} \] \[ \varepsilon = (1.2\pi \times 10^{-1}A)\left(\frac{2}{3.14}\right) \] \[ \varepsilon \approx 0.24A \ \text{volt} \] \[ \boxed{\varepsilon = 0.24A \ \text{volt}} \]
