Answer

$7.39\times 10^{-4}V $

Work Step by Step

We know that the circumference of a square is given as $4a=L $ $\implies a=\frac{L}{4}$ where $ a $ is a side of a square $\implies a=\frac{1.22m}{4}=0.305m $ Now $ A_{square}=a^2$ $ A_{square}=(0.305m)^2=0.093025m^2$ Similarly, for a circular loop $ r=\frac{L}{2\pi}$ $\implies r=\frac{1.22m}{2\pi}=0.194m $ Now $ A_{circle}=\pi r^2$ $ A_{circle}=\pi(0.194m)^2=0.11811704m^2$ The average magnitude of induced emf of the coil when its shape is changed from square to circular is given as $\epsilon=NB|\frac{A_{circle}cos\theta-A_{square}cos\theta}{\Delta t}|$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\epsilon=(1)(0.125T)|\frac{(0.11817704m^2)cos0^{\circ}-0.093025m^2cos0^{\circ}}{4.25s}|$ $\epsilon=7.39\times 10^{-4}V $
