A conducting wire of length ll, positioned perpendicular to a magnetic field BB, travels with a velocity vv. Determine the potential difference that is established across the ends of the wire.
A conducting wire of length l , positioned perpendicular to a magnetic field B , travels with a velocity v . Determine

Options

  1. AvBl\dfrac{v B}{l}
  2. BlBvl B v
  3. ClBv\dfrac{l B}{v}
  4. D12lBv\dfrac{1}{2} l B v

Correct answer

B. lBvl B v

Step-by-step solution

The motional electromotive force (EMF) induced in a straight conducting wire of length ll moving with velocity vv perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field BB is given by:

E=(v⃗×B⃗)⋅l⃗E = (\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) \cdot \vec{l}

Since the velocity v⃗\vec{v}, magnetic field B⃗\vec{B}, and the length of the wire l⃗\vec{l} are mutually perpendicular, the magnitude of the induced EMF is:

E=vBlE = vBl

This induced EMF is equal to the potential difference established across the ends of the wire.

Therefore, the potential difference is lBvlBv.
