An aeroplane, with its wings spread 10 m, is flying at a speed of 180 km/h in a horizontal direction. The total intensity of earth's field at that part is 2.5 $\times$ 10$-$4 Wb/m2 and the angle of dip is 60$^\circ$. The emf induced between the tips of the plane wings will be __________.
Solution
$\varepsilon$<sub>ind</sub> = (B<sub>v</sub>) LV and B<sub>v</sub> = B<sub>Total</sub> sin60<sup>o</sup><br><br>$\therefore$ $\varepsilon$<sub>ind</sub> = (2.5 $\times$ 10<sup>$-$4</sup>)(sin 60<sup>o</sup>) $\times$ 10 $\times$ 180 $\times$ ${5 \over {18}}$<br><br>= 108.25 mV
