The figure shows a rectangular conducting frame MNOP of resistance R placed partly in a perpendicular magnetic field and moved with velocity
as shown in the figure.
Obtain the expressions for the
(a) force acting on the arm ‘ON’ and its direction, and
(b) power required to move the frame to get a steady emf induced between the arms MN and PO.
(a) The induced emf in the moving conductor MNOP
where B = Magnetic Field
l= length of the conductor
The induced current,
Where, r= radius
Hence, the force on the arm 'ON'
On putting the value of 'i' we have force,
The force is directed in the direction opposite to Velocity of the rod (v).
(b) We know that,
Where F = Force
V = velocity
We know,
therefore,
