Question 44

Electromagnetic Induction

A conductor of length 1m moves with a velocity of 50ms−1 at an angle of 30° to the direction of a uniform magnetic field of flux density 1.5Wbm−2. What is the e.m.f. induced in the conductor?

  1. A.37.5V
  2. B.50.5V
  3. C.75.0V
  4. D.80.5V.
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: A (37.5V)

Explanation

E = BLv sin θ = 1.5 × 1 × 50 × sin 30° = 37.5 V.
