Electromagnetic Induction
 

Electromagnetic Induction problem 25


The poles of a horseshoe magnet measure , as shown in the figure below.




The uniform magnetic flux density between the poles of the magnet is . Outside the region of the poles, the magnetic flux density is zero. A stiff copper wire is connected to a sensitive ammeter of resistance . A student moves the wire at a constant speed of between the poles in a direction parallel to the faces of the poles.


  • Calculate the magnetic flux between the poles of the magnet.


    • Use your answer in (a) to determine, for the wire moving between the poles of the magnet, the e.m.f. induced in the wire.


    • Show that the reading on the ammeter is approximately .
