When a moving bus takes a right turn, the passengers inside the bus seem to lean towards the left. Explain why.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a bus takes a turn, the centrifugal force felt by the passengers, is directed opposite to the direction of the turn. Hence, when a bus takes a right turn, the passengers inside the bus seem to lean towards left.

A rectangular conductor LMNO is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.5 T. The field is directed perpendicular to the plane of the conductor. When the arm MN of length of 20 cm is moved towards left with a velocity of 10 m . s^(-1) , calculate the emf induced in the arm. Given the resistance of the arm to be 5 Omega , (assuming that the other arms are of negligible resistance) find the value of the current in the arm.

In a metre bridge , null point is obtained at 42.1"cm" on the wire when a 3Omrga resistance is kept in the left gap and a 4Omega resistance in the right gap of the bridge . The null point is shifted towards right by 15.0 cm when the two resistance are interchanged . Determine the end error of the bridge .
