Correct answer: D
- Interpret the geometry
A rod of length is tied to a string of length , and the free end of the string is fixed.
So the rod rotates in the horizontal plane about the fixed end of the string with angular speed .
The rod lies along the same radial line as the string, hence:
- inner end of rod is at distance from the axis,
- outer end of rod is at distance from the axis.
A uniform magnetic field is vertical, i.e. perpendicular to the plane of rotation.
- Use motional emf formula for a rotating rod segment
For a small element of rod at distance from the axis, its speed is
Since , the motional electric field magnitude is
For a small rod element of length along the radial direction, the small emf is
Hence total emf across the rod is
Substitute limits , :
- Evaluate the integral
- Match with options
The induced emf is
This corresponds to Option D.
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer: D
Derived answer: D
So they agree.
