Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction quantifies the induced electromotive force (emf) in a coil as: \[ \text{emf} = -\frac{d\phi}{dt} \] Here, \( \phi \) represents the magnetic flux, and \( \frac{d\phi}{dt} \) denotes its rate of change. Given the magnetic flux function: \[ \phi = 8t^2 + 5t + 7 \] To determine the induced emf, we differentiate the flux with respect to time \( t \): \[ \frac{d\phi}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} (8t^2 + 5t + 7) \] Performing the differentiation on each term yields: \[ \frac{d\phi}{dt} = 16t + 5 \] Substituting \( t = 4 \) seconds into this derivative allows us to calculate the induced emf at that specific time: \[ \frac{d\phi}{dt} = 16(4) + 5 = 64 + 5 = 69 \, \text{V} \] Consequently, the induced emf in the coil at \( t = 4 \) s is 69 V, corresponding to option (D).
