    A metallic rod held horizontally along east west direction is allowed to fill under gravity. Wil there be an e.m.f induced acroos its ends ?

    Assertion: Length of the metal rod is aligned along northsouth direction and is released from rest under gravity. Potential difference is generated along the length of the rod. Reason: When a metal rod is moved perpendicular to its length and parallel to magnetic field then magnetic force on electrons generates electric field along the length of rod.

    The magnitude of the earths magnetic field at a place is B_(0) and the angle of dip is delta . A horizontal conductor of length l , lying north-south, moves eastward with a velocity v . The emf induced across the rod is
