A pickup truck has a width of 78.1 in. If it is traveling north at 36 m/s through a magnetic field with vertical component of 41 μT, what magnitude emf is induced between the driver and passenger sides of the truck?
A pickup truck has a width of 78.1 in. If it is traveling north at 36 m/s through a magnetic field with vertical component of 41 μT, what magnitude emf is induced between the driver and passenger sides of the truck?
Answer:
The magnitude of induced emf is 0.115 volts.
Explanation:
Given that,
Length of the truck, l = 78.1 m
Speed of the truck, v = 36 m/s
The vertical component of magnetic field, [tex]B=41\ \mu T[/tex]
We need to find the magnitude of emf induced between the driver and passenger sides of the truck. It is a case of motional emf. The induced emf is given by :
[tex]\epsilon=Blv\\\\\epsilon=41\times 10^{-6}\times 78.1\times 36\\\\\epsilon=0.115\ V[/tex]
So, the magnitude of induced emf is 0.115 volts.
