Physics Question on Electromagnetic induction
A metal conductor of length 1m rotates vertically about one of its ends with an angular velocity 5rads−1. If the horizontal component of earths magnetic field is 0.2×10−4T, then the emf developed between the ends of the conductor is
A
5μV
B
5mV
C
50μV
D
50mV
Answer
50μV
Explanation
Solution
The emf developed between the ends of the conductor is
ε=21ωBl2=21×5×0.2×10−4×(1)2
=5×10−5V=50×10−6V
=50μV
