A wire of length 30 cm is moved with a speed of 2 ms⁻¹ at right-angles to a magnetic field of flux density 0.4T. Calculate the e.m.f induced in the wire.

  • A. A. 0.15 V
  • B. B. 0.24 VCorrect
  • C. C. 2.70 V
  • D. D. 24.00 V

Explanation

Induced emf = BIL x speed = B x L x v = 0.4 x 0.3 x 2 = 0.24V.
