A circular coil of radius 0.05 m with 20 turns moves at 2 m/s perpendicular to a magnetic field of 0.4 T. The motional emf induced across its ends is:

Correct answer: C. 1.6 V

  • A. 0.4 V
  • B. 0.8 V
  • C. 1.6 V
  • D. 3.2 V

Explanation

Motional emf = ε = BlvN, where l is the length of the conductor moving perpendicular to the magnetic field. For a circular coil, this length is the diameter 2r. Substituting values, ε= 20x0.4x0.1x2= 1.6V.

About Electromagnetism

Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
