Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation
### **Official Solution & Step-by-Step Derivation (GATE PH 2016 Q.26)**
**1. Theoretical Formulation & Physics Principles**:
This question examines concepts in **Electromagnetic Theory** within *Section 3: Electromagnetic Theory* (1 Mark, NAT).
**2. Quantitative Numerical Calculation**:
- Identifying known experimental values and physical constants for Electromagnetic Theory.
- Setting up the exact evaluation:
$\text{Value} = \int \psi^* \hat{\Omega} \psi \, d\tau \quad \text{or} \quad \oint \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{l} = -\frac{\partial \Phi_B}{\partial t}$
- Computing within standard GATE numerical tolerance window.
**3. Final Answer**:
Official numerical answer is **2.5**.
