A straight wire of length 0.20 m moves at a steady speed of 3.0 ms^-1 at night angles to the magnetic field of flux density 0.10 T. The EMF induced across ends of wire is?

Answer: 0.06 V
Explanation

The EMF induced across the ends of a wire moving through a magnetic field can be calculated using the formula:

E = Blv

Where:

  • E is the induced EMF in volts
  • B is the magnetic flux density in teslas
  • l is the length of the wire in meters
  • v is the velocity of the wire in meters per second

Given:

B = 0.10 T

l = 0.20 m

v = 3.0 m/s

Substituting the values into the formula, we get:

E = 0.10 x 0.20 x 3.0

E = 0.06 V
