A rectangular wire loop of sides 8 cm and 3 cm with a small cut, is moving out of a region of uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.3 T directed normal to the plane of the loop. The emf developed across the cut, if the velocity of the loop is 2 cm s^ -1 , in a direction normal to the shorter side of the loop, will be :
D. 1.8 10^ -4 volt
Given: Magnetic field, B = 0.3 T Velocity of the loop, v = 2 cm s^ -1 = 2 10^ -2 m s^ -1 Length of the shorter side, l = 3 cm = 3 10^ -2 m Since the loop is moving in a direction normal to the shorter side, the velocity vector is perpendicular to the shorter side. The motional emf is induced across the side that is perpendicular to the direction of motion. The induced emf e is given by the formula: e = B l v Substituting the given values: e = 0.3 (3 10^ -2 ) (2 10^ -2 ) e = 1.8 10^ -4 V Answer: 1.8 10^ -4 volt
