A small retangular coil ABCD contains 140 turns of wire. The sides AB and BC of the coil are of length 4.5 and 2.8 cm respectively, as shown in the figure The coil is held between the poles of a large magnet so that the coil can rotate about an axis thorugh its centre. The magnet produces a uniform magnetic field of flux density B between its poles. When the current in the coil is 170 mA, the maximum torque produced in the coil is 2.1 xx 10^-3 N m . The current in the coil in (a) is switched off and the coil s positioned as shown in the figure. The coil is then turned thorugh an angle of 90^@ in a time of 0.14 s. Calculate the average e.m.f. induced in the coil.

Air entering the lungs ends up in tiny sacs called alveoli.From the alveoli, the oxygen diffuses into the blood. The average radius of the alveoli is 0.0050 cm and the air inside contains 14 per cent oxygen. Assuming that the pressure in the alveoli is 1.0 atm and the temperature is 37^(@)C , calculate the number of oxygen molecules in one of the alveoli.
