Question
A magnetic field of 0.080 T is in the y-direction. The velocity of wire segment S has a magnitude of 78 m/s and components of 18 m/s in the x-direction, 24 m/s in the y-direction, and 72 m/s in the z-direction. The segment has length 0.50 m and is parallel to the z-axis as it moves.
Required:
a. Find the motional emf induced between the ends of the segment.
b. What would the motional emf be if the wire segment was parallel to the y-axis?

Answer:
Explanation:
From the information given:
The motional emf can be computed by using the formula:
E = 0.72 volts
According to the question, suppose the wire segment was parallel, there will no be any emf induced since the magnetic field is present along the y-axis.
As such, for any motional emf should be induced, the magnetic field, length, and velocity are required to be perpendicular to one another .
Then the motional emf will be:
E = 0 (zero)
