Emf in a conducting rod moving away from a wire with current I

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the electromotive force (emf) generated in a conducting rod moving perpendicularly away from a long, straight wire carrying a current. The key question is how to determine the emf when the rod is at a distance r from the wire. Participants express confusion and frustration, indicating a lack of resources and understanding of the relevant equations. There is a clear need for guidance on the principles of electromagnetic induction in this context. Overall, the thread highlights the challenges faced by individuals in grasping the concepts of emf in relation to moving conductors near current-carrying wires.

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
