A conducting bar moves on two conducting rails as shown in the figure. A constant magnetic field B exists into the page. The bar starts to move from the vertex at time t = 0 with a constant velocity. If the induced EMF is E ∝ tn, then value of n is .View written solutionFree
Correct answer: 1
-
Set up the geometry
Let the two conducting rails make an angle at the vertex.
The conducting bar always connects the two rails and moves away from the vertex with constant speed .If the distance of the bar from the vertex along the angle bisector (or equivalently, the characteristic linear distance from the vertex) is , then since the bar moves with constant velocity, so
-
Length of the rod as a function of position
The separation between the rails increases linearly with distance from the vertex. Therefore, the length of the rod between the rails is Since , we get
-
Area enclosed by the circuit
The loop formed by the two rails and the rod is a triangular sector-like region. Its area is proportional to More explicitly, for rails inclined at fixed angle , Since ,
-
Magnetic flux
Magnetic field is constant and perpendicular to the plane, so the flux is
-
Induced EMF
By Faraday’s law, Since ,
Hence, comparing with we get
