A circular loop of wire is centered in a region of uniform magnetic field directed perpendicularly into the page, represented by a grid of small x symbols. The loop has a dashed inner circle of radius \(r_0\) and a solid outer circle representing the expanded loop of radius \(r(t)\) at time \(t\). Four outward-pointing arrows, each labeled \(v_0\), are attached to the outer circle at the top, bottom, left, and right, indicating uniform radial expansion. A single straight radial line extends from the center to the outer perimeter, labeled \(r(t)\). A field symbol labeled \(\vec{B}\) appears in the upper right. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
Circular wire loop expanding in a uniform magnetic field.
A single-turn circular loop of flexible wire lies in the plane of the page in a uniform, constant magnetic field of magnitude \(B\) directed into the page. At time \(t = 0\), the loop has an initial radius \(r_0\) and begins expanding radially outward in the plane such that its radius as a function of time is \(r(t) = r_0 + v_0 t\), where \(v_0\) is a constant speed. Which of the following expressions correctly gives the magnitude of the instantaneous electromotive force \(\varepsilon(t)\) induced in the loop as a function of time \(t\)?
