Physics-Motional EMF

NEET Physics Motional EMF MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Which of the following statements about motional EMF is correct?

A

Motional EMF can be generated by moving a conductor through a magnetic field, leading to a separation of charges within the conductor.

B

The magnitude of the motional EMF is independent of the speed of the conductor moving through the magnetic field.

C

Motional EMF only occurs in closed circuits and cannot be generated in open circuits.

D

The induced EMF in a moving conductor is always in the opposite direction to the motion of the conductor.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Motional EMF arises when a conductor moves through a magnetic field, causing charge separation due to the Lorentz force as described in the context. Options B, C, and D reflect misconceptions about the relationship between speed and induced EMF, the conditions for EMF generation, and the direction of induced EMF.
