Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 448
Question: A rod PQ of length L moves with a uniform velocity v parallel to a long straight wire carrying a current i, the end P remaining at a distance r from the wire. The emf induced across the rod is
Options:
A)
B)
C)
D)
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Consider a small element of length dx of the rod at a distance x and (x+dx) from the wire. The emf induced across the element
We know that magnetic field B at a distance x from a wire carrying a current; is given by
From eqs. (i) and (ii),
