A structure formed from two straight conducting rods forming a right angle, is placed in a uniform magnetic field with B = 0.40 T is directed out of the page. A straight
conducting bar in contact with the structure, starts at the vertex at time t = 0 and moves with a constant velocity of 5.0 m/s along them. The emf (in V) around the triangle at
that time t=4.0 s is __________.
The perpendicular length of the triangular area enclosed by the structure and bar is the same as the distance travelled by it in time t
d=vt, where v=5.0 m/s.
Here the "base" of that triangle (the distance between the intersection points of the bar with the structure) is 2d. Thus, the area of the triangle is
Since the field is a uniform B = 0.350 T, then the magnitude of the flux (in SI units) is
The magnitude of the emf is the (absolute value of) Faraday's law:
