Question

Two rails of a railway track insulated from each other and the ground are connected to a milli voltmeter. What is the reading of voltmeter, when a train travels with a speed of 180 km/hr along the track. Given that the vertical component of earth's magnetic field is  0.2×104 weber /m2 and the rails are separated by 1 metre

Moderate
Solution

e=Bv.vl=0.2×104×180×10003600×1=103V
