-60

Step-by-step explanation

The induced emf in the circuit is given by Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, which is , where is the magnetic flux through the circuit.

The magnetic flux through the circuit is proportional to the magnetic field through the core, so we can write , where is the number of turns in the loop, is the magnetic field through the core, and is the cross-sectional area of the core.

As the magnetic field changes from in one direction to in the opposite direction, the change in magnetic flux is .

The induced emf drives a current through the resistor in the circuit, and the current and the resistance are related by Ohm's law, which is . Substituting the expression for into this equation, we get .

The charge that flows through the circuit during the change in magnetic field is given by . Substituting the expression for into this equation and integrating with respect to time, we get , where is the change in magnetic flux and is the resistance of the circuit.

Substituting the given values into this expression, we get:



Therefore, the charge flowing through a point in the circuit during the change of magnetic field is , which is the same as the provided answer.
