Question

Suppose a conducting rod is 52 cm long and slides on a pair of rails at 2.75 m/s. What is the strength of the magnetic field in T if a 8 V emf is induced?

Answer 1

Answer:

5.6 Tesla

Explanation:

L = 52 cm = 0.52 m

V = 2.75 m/s

e = 8 V

Let B be tha magnitude of magnetic field. Use the formula for the motional emf

e = B × V × L

B = e / V L

B = 8 / (2.75 × 0.52)

B = 5.6 Tesla
