A horizontal straight wire 10 m long extending from east to west is falling with a speed of 5.0 m s-1, at right angles to the horizontal component of the earth’s ‘ magnetic field, 0.30 × 104 Wbm2.(a) What is the instantaneous value of the emf induced in the wire?(b) What is the direction of the emf?(c) Which end of the wire is at the higher electrical potential?

Answer»

Here, length of the wire, l = 10m;
Velocity of the wire, V = 5.0 ms1
Horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field,
BH = 0.30 x 10-4 Wb m-2
(a) Now, e = BHlv = 0.30 x 10-4 x 10 x 5.0
= 1.5 x 10-3 V
(b) The induced e.m.f. will be set up from west to east end.
(c) The eastern end will be at higher potential.
