Physics-Motional EMF

NEET Physics Motional EMF Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12

Assertion (A): A motional emf is generated in a conductor moving perpendicular to a magnetic field. | Reason (R): The separation of charges within the conductor due to the Lorentz force results in a potential difference across its ends.

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The NCERT context states that the Lorentz force causes free electrons to move, creating a charge separation and emf in the rod moving perpendicular to the magnetic field.
