A horizontal straight wire 5 m long extending from east to west is falling freely at right angle to horizontal component of earth's magnetic field 0.60 10-4 Wbm-2. The instantaneous value of emf induced in the wire when its velocity is 10 ms-1 is 10-3 V.
Answer
3
Solution
Motional emf: =BHvl
∵ wire (E–W), velocity (vertical) and BH (S → N) are mutually perpendicular
=0.60 10-4 10 5
=3 10-3 V
Answer: 3
