The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The emf developed between the ends of the conductor is
$\varepsilon=\frac{1}{2}\omega Bl^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\times5\times0.2\times10^{-4}\times(1)^{2}$
$=5\times10^{-5}\,V=50\times10^{-6}V$
$=50\, \mu\,V$

Electromagnetic Induction

Electromagnetic Induction is a current produced by the voltage production due to a changing magnetic field. This happens in one of the two conditions:-

  1. When we place the conductor in a changing magnetic field.
  2. When the conductor constantly moves in a stationary field.

Formula:

The electromagnetic induction is mathematically represented as:-

e=N × d∅.dt

Where

  • e = induced voltage
  • N = number of turns in the coil
  • Φ = Magnetic flux (This is the amount of magnetic field present on the surface)
  • t = time

Applications of Electromagnetic Induction

  1. Electromagnetic induction in AC generator
  2. Electrical Transformers
  3. Magnetic Flow Meter
