An emf of 0.08 V is induced in a metal rod of length 10 cm held normal to a uniform magnetic field of 0.4 T , when moves with a velocity of:
(A)2ms−1✓ Correct
(B)3.2ms−1
(C)0.5ms−1
(D)20ms−1
Answer: (A)
Solution
The motional emf across a rod of length l moving with speed v perpendicular to a field B is ε=Blv, since the rod is held normal to the field and sweeps the maximum flux. Rearranging for the speed gives v=Blε. Substituting ε=0.08V, B=0.4T and l=10cm=0.1m, v=0.4×0.10.08=0.040.08. The rod moves with a velocity of 2m s−1.
