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 ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, This is because horizontal component of earth' magnetic field along N-S, is intercepted by the falling rod.

(a) When a small magnet is moved towards a sole- noid, an emf is induced in it. However, if a magnet is moved inside the hole of a toroid, no emf is induced. Explain. (b) A wire is kept horizontal along North-South direction. It is allowed to fall freely. How much emf will be induced across the ends of the wire due to presence of Earth’s magnetic field.

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.
