A straight line conductor of length 0.4 m is moved with a speed of $7.0 \text{ ms}^{-1}$ perpendicular to magnetic field of intensity $0.8 \text{ Wb m}^{-2}$. The induced e.m.f. across the conductor is

  • Correct answer
    A
    $2 \cdot 24$ V
  • B
    $2 \cdot 80$ V
  • C
    $3 \cdot 20$ V
  • D
    $5 \cdot 60$ V

Solution

Given $l = 0.4 \text{ m}$, $v = 7.0 \text{ ms}^{-1}$, and $B = 0.8 \text{ Wb m}^{-2}$.

The induced e.m.f. across a straight conductor moving perpendicular to a magnetic field is given by $e = B l v$.

Substituting the given values:

$e = 0.8 \times 0.4 \times 7.0$

$e = 2.24 \text{ V}$

Answer: $2 \cdot 24$ V

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
