A metallic rod of length 'l' is rotated with a frequency v with one end hinged at the centre and the other end at the circumference of a circular metallic ring of radius r, about an axis passing through the centre and perpendicular to the plane of the ring. A constant uniform magnetic field B parallel to the axis is present every where. Using Lorentz force, explain how emf is induced between the centre and the metallic ring and hence obtain the expression for it.

Solution :We know that a conductor has free charges. If a conductor of LENGTH .I. is moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field `vecB` with a velocity `vecv` perpendicular to its length too, then a Lorentz force `vecF` acts on each free charge, where
`|vecF| = q vB`
Due to this force free charges move along the length of conductor from one end to the other end and exact direction is given by Fleming.s left HAND rule. As a result of this motion of charge, a potential difference is set up between the two ends of conductor. The potential difference developed (i.e., the induced emf) is given by
`|varepsilon| = (FI)/q = (qvBl)/q=vBl`
Now, consider a conductor rod of length .l. hinged at one end Mand rotating about a NORMAL axis passing through Mwith a frequency v, then for a small element of rod of thickness .de. SITUATED at a distance .x. from the hinged end, the induced emf is
`dvarepsilon = Bv DX = B (xomega)dx = B (x.2piv) dx = 2pivB xdx`
`therefore` Total induced emf
`varepsilon =2pivB int_(0)^(1) xdx = 2pivB. [l^(2)/2] = pivBl^(2)`
