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 horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field, which is 0.30 x 10^-4 Wb/m². If the wire moves at a speed of 5.0 m/s, what is the instantaneous value of the emf induced in the wire?

A

0.15 mV

B

5 mV

C

15 mV

D

150 mV

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The induced emf (ε) is calculated using the formula ε = B * l * v, where B is the magnetic field, l is the length of the wire, and v is the velocity. Substituting the given values: ε = 0.30 x 10^-4 Wb/m² * 10 m * 5.0 m/s = 15 mV.
