Q.
A small piece of metal wire is dragged across the gap between the poles of a magnet is 0.4s. If the change in magnetic flux in the wire is 8×10−4Wb, then emf induced in the wire is:
From Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, when the magnetic flux through a circuit is changing an induced emf (e) is set up in the circuit whose magnitude is equal to the negative rate of change of magnetic flux (ϕ) e=−dtdϕ
Given, dϕ=8×10−4Wb, dt=0.4s ⇒e=−0.48×10−4 =−2×10−3V
Note : The direction of induced emf is such as to oppose the change that produced it.
