A metallic conductor of length 1 m rotates in a vertical plane parallel to east-west direction about one of its end with angular velocity 5 rad s-1. If the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is 0.2×10-4 T, then emf induced between the two ends of the conductor is
  1. 5μV
  2. 50μV
  3. 5 mV
  4. 50 mV

Solution

Given here,  BH=0.2×10-4 Tω=5 rad s-1 and l= 1 m.

Emf induced in a rotating conducting rod is given by,

ε=12Bωl2

Substituting the given values, we obtain

ε=12×0.2×10-4×5×12=0.5×10-4 V=50 μV
