Electromagnetic Induction question

2022 · 27 Jun · Shift 2 · Q71

JEE MainPhysicsElectromagnetic InductionNumerical+4 / −1
A metallic rod of length 20 cm is placed in North-South direction and is moved at a constant speed of 20 m/s towards East. The horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field at that place is 4 ×\times× 10 −-− 3 T and the angle of dip is 45 ∘^\circ∘. The emf induced in the rod is ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​ mV.

Correct answer: 16

  1. Given data
  • Length of rod: l=20 cm=0.20 ml = 20\text{ cm} = 0.20\text{ m}l=20 cm=0.20 m
  • Speed of rod: v=20 m/sv = 20\text{ m/s}v=20 m/s
  • Horizontal component of Earth’s magnetic field: BH=4×10−3 TB_H = 4\times 10^{-3}\text{ T}BH​=4×10−3 T
  • Angle of dip: δ=45∘\delta = 45^\circδ=45∘
  1. Direction analysis
  • Rod is placed in North-South direction.
  • Rod moves towards East.
  • Earth’s magnetic field lies in the North-vertical plane.

The horizontal component BHB_HBH​ is along North. The vertical component is

BV=BHtan⁡δB_V = B_H \tan \deltaBV​=BH​tanδ

Since δ=45∘\delta = 45^\circδ=45∘,

BV=4×10−3×tan⁡45∘=4×10−3 TB_V = 4\times 10^{-3} \times \tan 45^\circ = 4\times 10^{-3}\text{ T}BV​=4×10−3×tan45∘=4×10−3 T
  1. Which component produces motional emf?

Motional emf across the rod is due to

E=(v⃗×B⃗)⋅l⃗\mathcal{E} = (\vec v \times \vec B)\cdot \vec lE=(v×B)⋅l
  • l⃗\vec ll is along North-South.
  • v⃗\vec vv is towards East.

Now check magnetic field components:

  • For horizontal field BHB_HBH​ (towards North):

    v⃗×B⃗H=East×North=vertical\vec v \times \vec B_H = \text{East} \times \text{North} = \text{vertical}v×BH​=East×North=vertical

    This is perpendicular to the rod, so it does not contribute to emf along the rod.

  • For vertical field BVB_VBV​ (downward):

    v⃗×B⃗V=East×downward=North/South direction\vec v \times \vec B_V = \text{East} \times \text{downward} = \text{North/South direction}v×BV​=East×downward=North/South direction

    This is along the rod, so it contributes fully.

Hence,

E=BVlv\mathcal{E} = B_V l vE=BV​lv
  1. Substitute values
E=(4×10−3)(0.20)(20)\mathcal{E} = (4\times 10^{-3})(0.20)(20)E=(4×10−3)(0.20)(20)

First,

0.20×20=40.20 \times 20 = 40.20×20=4

So,

E=4×10−3×4=16×10−3 V\mathcal{E} = 4\times 10^{-3} \times 4 = 16\times 10^{-3}\text{ V}E=4×10−3×4=16×10−3 V E=16 mV\mathcal{E} = 16\text{ mV}E=16 mV
  1. Final answer

The induced emf is

16 mV\boxed{16\text{ mV}}16 mV​
