A metallic conductor of length 1 m rotates in a vertical plane parallel to east-west direction about one of its end with angular velocity 5 rad s$-$1. If the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is 0.2 $\times$ 10$-$4 T, then emf induced between the two ends of the conductor is :
Solution
<p>$Emf = {1 \over 2}B\omega {l^2}$</p>
<p>$= {1 \over 2} \times 0.2 \times {10^{ - 4}} \times 5 \times {1^2}$ V</p>
<p>= 0.5 $\times$ 10<sup>$-$4</sup> V</p>
<p>= 50 $\mu$V</p>
