A metal rod of length LL rotates about one end at origin with a uniform angular velocity ω\omega. The magnetic field radially falls off as B(r)=B0e−λrB(r) = B_0 e^{-\lambda r}; λ\lambda being a positive constant. The emf induced (neglecting the centripetal force on electrons in the rod) is :

Options

  1. AB0ω[1λ2−e−λL(1λ2+Lλ)]B_0 \omega \left[\dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} - e^{-\lambda L}\left(\dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} + \dfrac{L}{\lambda}\right)\right]
  2. BB0ω[1λ2+e−λL(1λ2+Lλ)]B_0 \omega \left[\dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} + e^{-\lambda L}\left(\dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} + \dfrac{L}{\lambda}\right)\right]
  3. CB0ω[4λ2−e−2λL(1λ2+2Lλ)]B_0 \omega \left[\dfrac{4}{\lambda^2} - e^{-2\lambda L}\left(\dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} + \dfrac{2L}{\lambda}\right)\right]
  4. DB0ω[3λ2−e−3λL(3λ2+Lλ)]B_0 \omega \left[\dfrac{3}{\lambda^2} - e^{-3\lambda L}\left(\dfrac{3}{\lambda^2} + \dfrac{L}{\lambda}\right)\right]

Correct answer

A. B0ω[1λ2−e−λL(1λ2+Lλ)]B_0 \omega \left[\dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} - e^{-\lambda L}\left(\dfrac{1}{\lambda^2} + \dfrac{L}{\lambda}\right)\right]

Step-by-step solution

The motional emf dEdE induced in a small element of length drdr at a distance rr from the origin is given by:

dE=B(r)v(r)drdE = B(r) v(r) dr

Since the rod is rotating with angular velocity ω\omega, the velocity of the element is v(r)=ωrv(r) = \omega r.

dE=B0e−λr(ωr)drdE = B_0 e^{-\lambda r} (\omega r) dr
