Following figure shows a metal rod PQ resting on the smooth ralls AH and positioned between the poles of a permanent magnet. The rails, the rod and the magnetic field are in three mutual perpendicular directions. A galvanometer G connects the rails through a switch K. Length of the rod 15 cm, B 0.50 T, resistance of the closed loop containing the rod `9.0 mOmega`. Assume the field to be uniform. What is the induced emf in the moving rod if the magnetic field is parallel to the rails instead of being perpendicular? |

Answer» Given, length of the rod `l=15cm=15xx10^(-2)m` Magnetic field `B=0.50T` Resistance of the closed - loop containing the rod, `R=9mOmega=9xx10^(-3)Omega` Velocity of rod `V=12" cm/s "12 xx 10^(-2) m//s.` When the field is parallel to length of rails `theta-0^(@)`, induced emf `=e=BVl sin theta=0` `(therefore sin theta^(@)=0)`. In this situation, the moving rod will not cut the field lines so that flux change is zero and hence induced emf is zero. |
