Detailed Solution

Given data:

Length of the wire l=10m

Speed V= 5 m/s

Magnetic field B=0.3×10-4T

Concept used: induced EMF

Detailed solution:

We know that induced EMF =Blv

Question Image

From Fleming’s right hand rule, the direction of induced EMF is from West to East, so the current will flow from Eastern end to western end.

Thus, the eastern end of the wire will be at higher potential.
