Q6.14(b) Figure 6.20 shows a metal rod resting on the smooth rails and positioned between the poles of a permanent magnet. The rails, the rod, and the magnetic field are in three mutual perpendicular directions. A galvanometer connects the rails through a switch . Length of the ,, resistance of the closed loop containing the . Assume the field to be uniform. Suppose K is open and the rod is moved with a speed of in the direction shown. Give the polarity and magnitude of the induced emf.
(b)Is there an excess charge built up at the ends of the rods when is open? What if is closed?
Yes, there will be excess charge built up at the end of the rod when the key is open. This is because when we move the conductor in a magnetic field, the positive and negative charge particles will experience the force and move into the corners.
When we close the key these charged particles start moving in the closed loop and continuous current starts flowing.
