The correct answer is: πBr2ω28 R

The flux linked with coil (made of wire of radius r) of area A and magnetic field B, is given by

ϕ=BA cos θ=B πr22 cos ωt

ϕ=πBr22 cos ωt   [    A=πr22 and θ=ωt]

By Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, induced emf, e=-dϕdt

Hence, after differentiating,

e=-ddtπBr22 cos ωt=πBr2ω2 sin ωt  (where, R= resistance in the circuit)

 Power P=e2R=π2B2r4ω2 sin2ωt4 R

 Mean power P¯=π2B2r4ω24 R·sin2ωt¯

=π2B2r4ω24 R·12       sin2ωt¯=12

=πBr2ω28 R
