State Lenz.s Law. A metallic rod held horizontally along east-west direction, is allowed to fall under gravity. Will there be an emf induced at its ends? Justify your answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The polarity of induced emf is such that it tends to produce a current which opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it.
Yes, as the magnetic flux due to vertical component of Earth.s magnetic field keeps on changing as the metallic rod falls down.

A square loop of side 10 cm and resistance 0.5 Omega is placed vertically in the east-west plane. A uniform magnetic field of 0.10 T is set up across the plane in the north-east direction. The magnetic field is decreased to zero in 0.70 s at a steady rate. Determine the magnitudes of induced emf and current during this time-interval.
