The correct Answer is:
To find the induced electromotive force (emf) in the wire, we can use the formula for induced emf due to motion in a magnetic field: \[ \text{emf} = B \cdot L \cdot V \cdot \sin(\theta) \] Where: - \( B \) is the magnetic field strength, - \( L \) is the length of the wire, - \( V \) is the velocity of the wire, - \( \theta \) is the angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the velocity of the wire. ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Length of the wire, \( L = 10 \, \text{m} \) - Speed of the wire, \( V = 5.0 \, \text{m/s} \) - Magnetic field strength, \( B = 0.3 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{Wb/m}^2 \) - The angle \( \theta = 90^\circ \) (since the wire is falling perpendicular to the magnetic field) ### Step 2: Calculate \( \sin(\theta) \) Since \( \theta = 90^\circ \): \[ \sin(90^\circ) = 1 \] ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula Now, we can substitute the values into the induced emf formula: \[ \text{emf} = B \cdot L \cdot V \cdot \sin(\theta) \] \[ \text{emf} = (0.3 \times 10^{-4}) \cdot (10) \cdot (5) \cdot (1) \] ### Step 4: Perform the calculation Calculating the above expression: \[ \text{emf} = 0.3 \times 10^{-4} \cdot 10 \cdot 5 \] \[ \text{emf} = 0.3 \times 10^{-4} \cdot 50 \] \[ \text{emf} = 15 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{V} \] \[ \text{emf} = 1.5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{V} \] ### Final Answer The induced emf in the wire is: \[ \text{emf} = 1.5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{V} \]

To find the induced electromotive force (emf) in the wire, we can use the formula for induced emf due to motion in a magnetic field: \[ \text{emf} = B \cdot L \cdot V \cdot \sin(\theta) \] Where: - \( B \) is the magnetic field strength, ...
