A 20 cm long metallic rod is rotated with 210 rpm about an axis normal to the rod passing through its one end. The other end of the rod is in contact with a circular metallic ring. A constant and uniform magnetic field 0.2 T parallel to the axis exists everywhere. The emf developed between the centre and the ring is ______ mV.
Take π=722
Answer: 88
Solution
The angular speed is ω=210rpm=210×602π=7πrad s−1. A rod rotating about one end in a field parallel to the axis develops ε=21Bωℓ2. Substituting with π=722, ε=21×0.2×7π×(0.2)2=0.088V, so the emf between the centre and the ring is 88mV.
