I think it's something to do with the coil being a circle and not a rectangle (for example). If you imagine the circle cutting the field lines, there will be a change in flux as the area being cutting per second changes, whereas with a rectangle magnet or coil sheet, the area being cut per second is the same.

I hate EM induction so much lol.
Ah that makes sense, so would I be correct in saying that if it was a rectangular coil the graph would be the way I described?

Yeah, the rectangle shape one is for a shape like a square or rectangle where the rate of change of area is constant but with the circle as it edges slowly into the field, the rate of change of area is increasing up until the radius I guess where it'll will reverse? That could explain why there's a very small drop to 0 for a small amount of time.
I hope that kind of makes sense. Not sure if it's right tbh but it seems fairly plausible.

I remember one of my teachers saying something like that now that you mention it, I think your right lol thanks.
Having some trouble understanding the mark scheme for this question (Below)

Shouldn't the pulses be rectangular, since a constant velocity means a constant rate of change of flux linkage, so the emf induced is constant?
Flux linkage is dependent on the magnetic field passing through the area of the plane of the coil.
Think about the edge of the coil entering the linear part of the magnetic field between the poles. As it enters, the area of the coil entering the field is marked by a chord across the plane of the coil whose length increases until it equals the diameter of the coil. All the while the flux linkage is increasing in proportion to a sine curve (related to the circumference of a circle).
Faraday's and Lenz's laws apply: the magnitude of the induced emf tries to oppose the rate of increase of the flux entering the plane of the coil
When the coil diameter enters and passes the edge of the constant part of the field, the rate of change of flux linkage decreases until the whole coil has entered the constant part of the field. At this point, no lines of flux are cut and the emf induced is zero
This remains until the coil leaves the constant part of the field and traverses the edge of the poles, The induced emf tries to maintain the field and hence is in the opposite polarity to that when entering the field.
