A car with a vertical radio antenna 75 cm long drives due east at 29 m/s. The Earth's magnetic field at this location has a magnitude of 5.9* 10^-5 T and points northward, 72° below the horizontal.
(b) Find the induced emf between the ends of the antenna.
Relevant Equations:
E = BVL
I just tried to plug into E=BVL, using B as (5.9 * 10^-5), V as 29 m/s, and L as 0.75m. I ended up with 1.28 mV, which I know is wrong. But, this problem seems so simplistic, I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
