Rotating Conductors & AC Generator

A rod of length 60 cm60\text{ cm} rotates with a uniform angular velocity 20 rad s−120\text{ rad s}^{-1} about its perpendicular bisector, in a uniform magnetic field 0.5 T0.5\text{ T}. The direction of magnetic field is parallel to the axis of rotation. The potential difference between the two ends of the rod is _________ V.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 0

  1. Rotating about the perpendicular bisector, each half is a rod of length l2\frac{l}{2} rotating about the centre.
  2. Each end is at the same potential difference 12Bω(l2)2\frac{1}{2}B\omega\left(\frac{l}{2}\right)^2 from the centre, in the same sense.
  3. So both ends are at the same potential: V1−V2=0 VV_1 - V_2 = 0\text{ V}.
