In aircraft with wingspan of 40m flies with a speed of 1080 km/h in eastward direction at a constant altitude in the northern hemisphere, where the vertical component of the earth’s magnetic field $1.75\times {10}^{-5}T$. The emf developed between the tips of the wings is

EMF Developed Between Aircraft Wing Tips

To calculate the emf developed between the tips of the wings, we use the formula for motional emf:

emf = B × v × L

Given:

• B = Vertical component of Earth's magnetic field = 1.75 × 10-5 T
• v = Velocity of the aircraft = 1080 km/h = 300 m/s
• L = Wingspan = 40 m

Calculation:

Substituting the values into the formula:

emf = (1.75 × 10^-5) × 300 × 40

Simplifying:

emf = 0.21 V

Final Answer:

The emf developed between the tips of the wings is 0.21 V.
