The correct Answer is:
To find the induced electromotive force (emf) in a straight conductor moving in a magnetic field, we can use the formula for motional emf: \[ \text{emf} (E) = B \cdot l \cdot v \cdot \sin(\theta) \] Where: - \(E\) is the induced emf, - \(B\) is the magnetic field strength, - \(l\) is the length of the conductor, - \(v\) is the velocity of the conductor, - \(\theta\) is the angle between the direction of motion and the magnetic field. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Length of the conductor, \(l = 0.1 \, \text{m}\) - Magnetic field strength, \(B = 0.1 \, \text{T}\) - Velocity of the conductor, \(v = 15 \, \text{m/s}\) - Angle \(\theta = 90^\circ\) (since the conductor moves perpendicular to the magnetic field) 2. **Substitute the values into the formula**: Since the angle \(\theta\) is \(90^\circ\), \(\sin(90^\circ) = 1\). Therefore, the formula simplifies to: \[ E = B \cdot l \cdot v \] 3. **Calculate the induced emf**: \[ E = 0.1 \, \text{T} \cdot 0.1 \, \text{m} \cdot 15 \, \text{m/s} \] \[ E = 0.1 \cdot 0.1 \cdot 15 = 0.15 \, \text{V} \] 4. **Conclusion**: The induced emf between the two ends of the conductor is \(0.15 \, \text{V}\). ### Final Answer: The induced emf is \(0.15 \, \text{V}\). ---
