Practice question
Question
A conducting rod moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field with constant velocity. What is true
about the induced emf across its ends?
Explanation
**Self-induction** emf induced in coil due to change in its own current, e = -L dI/dt, L self-inductance (H), L = μ₀ N² A / l for solenoid, N turns, A area (m²), l length (m), μ₀=4π×10⁻⁷ H/m. For solenoid 650 turns/m means n=650, A=0.014 m², L = μ₀ n² A l? Actually per unit length? For length l, N=n l, L= μ₀ n² A l, if l=1 m, L=4π×10⁻⁷×650²×0.014=7.43×10⁻³ H, dI/dt=(3-6)/0.25=-12 A/s, e= -L×(-12)=0.089 V. The induced emf ( ε = B l v ) remains constant because the velocity, magnetic field, and rod length are constant, leading to a steady flux change rate.
