The area of the coil must be 7.6 x 10⁻⁴ m².
The peak emf induced in a coil is determined by applying Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction as shown below;
emf(peak) = NBAω
Where;
[tex]\omega = 400 \ \frac{rev}{ s} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} \ = 2,513.6 \ rad/s[/tex]
[tex]A = \frac{emf (peak)}{NB\omega} \\\\A = \frac{4.2}{55 \times 0.04 \times 2,513.6} \\\\A = 7.6 \times 10^{-4} \ m^2[/tex]
Thus, the area of the coil must be 7.6 x 10⁻⁴ m².
