The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The induced emf (\( \epsilon \)) in a moving conductor is given by: \[ \epsilon = B \cdot l \cdot v, \] where: - \( B = 0.4 \, \text{T} \) (magnetic field), - \( l = 10 \, \text{cm} = 0.1 \, \text{m} \) (length of the rod), - \( v \) is the velocity. \bigskip Rearrange the formula to solve for \( v \): \[ v = \frac{\epsilon}{B \cdot l}. \]  Substitute the known values: \[ v = \frac{0.08}{0.4 \cdot 0.1}. \] Simplify: \[ v = \frac{0.08}{0.04} = 2 \, \text{ms}^{-1}. \] 
Final Answer: The velocity of the rod is: \[ \boxed{2 \, \text{ms}^{-1}}. \]
