  • zero
  • Bv $ \pi \, R^2 \, / 2$ and M is at higher potential
  • $\pi$ BRv and Q is at higher potential
  • 2 RBv and Q is at higher potential

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Induced motional emf in MNQ is equivalent to the motional emf in an imaginary wire MQ i.e. $\hspace15mm$ $ e_{ MNQ} = e_{ MQ} = B v l = B v ( 2 R)$ $\hspace19mm$ [ t = MQ = 2 R ] Therefore, potential difference developed across the ring is 2 RBv with Q at higher potential.

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
