Physics Question Please Help?

A wire, 20.0 m long, moves at 4.0 m/s perpendicularly through a magnetic field. An EMF of 40V is induced in the wire. What is strength of the magnetic field?

5 answers

EMF = B*L*v

L = 20 m
EMF = 40 Volts
v = 4.0 m/s

Solve for B in units of Tesla (T)

What happens to a magnetic field if the current carrying wire A has three times as many loops but the same current as the current carrying wire B?
v=EMF/(L)(B) =
=40/(20)(4)=0.5 T
A 20.0-m-long wire moves perpendicularly through a magnetic field at 4.0 m/s. An EMF of
40 V is induced in the wire. What is the field’s strength?
At what speed would a 0.20-m length of wire have to move across a 2.5-T magnetic field to
induce an EMF of 10 V?
