NEET Physics Motional EMF MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 12

In the diagram shown above, if a straight conductor moves perpendicularly through a uniform magnetic field, what is the direction of the induced motional EMF?

Question diagram
A

From the center to the edge of the conductor

B

Parallel to the direction of the magnetic field

C

Opposite to the direction of motion

D

Perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the direction of motion

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The induced motional EMF in a moving conductor within a magnetic field is perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the direction of motion, due to the Lorentz force acting on the charges.
