### Explanation

The problem involves calculating the electromotive force (emf) produced by a generator when its rotational speed changes. The emf produced by a generator is directly proportional to its speed of rotation. This means if we denote the emf as \( E \) and the speed as \( \omega \), the relationship can be expressed as:

\[ E_1 / E_2 = \omega_1 / \omega_2 \]

Where:
- \( E_1 \) is the initial emf (18.0 V)
- \( \omega_1 \) is the initial speed (920 rev/min)
- \( E_2 \) is the emf at the new speed
- \( \omega_2 \) is the new speed (520 rev/min)

The formula can be rearranged to solve for \( E_2 \):

\[ E_2 = E_1 \times (\omega_2 / \omega_1) \]

Substitute the provided values:

\[ E_2 = 18.0 \times (520 / 920) \]

Calculate \( E_2 \) to find the emf at the new speed.
