Q28JEE Main 2023 · 11 APR · SHIFT 2Medium

Motional EMF

A metallic cube of side 15 cm15\text{ cm} moving along yy-axis at a uniform velocity of 2 ms−12\text{ ms}^{-1}. In a region of uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.5 T0.5\text{ T} directed along zz-axis. In equilibrium the potential difference between the faces of higher and lower potential developed because of the motion through the field will be _________ mV.

Answer: 150

  1. v⃗\vec v along yy, B⃗\vec B along zz: qv⃗×B⃗q\vec v\times\vec B is along xx, so charges collect on the faces normal to xx.
  2. Equilibrium: qE=qvB⇒V=BvaqE = qvB \Rightarrow V = Bva.
  3. V=0.5×2×0.15=0.15V = 0.5 \times 2 \times 0.15 = 0.15 V
  4. Answer: 150150 mV.
