A rod of length 'L' is moving as shown what will be the EMF induced.?

Answer

ε = BLv

Explanation

Solution

Explanation:
When a rod of length LL moves with speed vv in a magnetic field BB, free charges in it experience the Lorentz force F=q(v×B)\vec{F} = q\,(\vec{v}\times\vec{B}). For the given directions (with the result Va>VbV_a > V_b), the induced potential difference across its ends is

ε=VaVb=BLv.\varepsilon = V_a - V_b = B\,L\,v.

Answer:

ε=BLv\varepsilon = B\,L\,v
