NEET Physics Motional EMF MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12

A horizontal straight wire 10 m long is falling at right angles to the Earth's magnetic field of 0.30 × 10⁻⁴ Wb m⁻² with a speed of 5.0 m s⁻¹. What is the instantaneous value of the emf induced in the wire?

A

0.015 V

B

0.150 V

C

0.75 V

D

1.50 V

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The induced emf (ε) is given by the formula ε = Bvl, where B is the magnetic field (0.30 × 10⁻⁴ Wb m⁻²), v is the velocity (5.0 m s⁻¹), and l is the length of the wire (10 m). Calculating gives ε = 0.30 × 10⁻⁴ × 5 × 10 = 0.015 V.
