Induced Voltage Calculation for Stick in Magnetic Field B

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the induced voltage for a stick 91 cm long in a magnetic field of 0.606 T, the correct formula is U = B * L * V, where L is the length of the stick and V is its velocity. The initial calculation using U = B/(a*t) was incorrect, as it would imply infinite EMF for a stationary object. After recognizing the mistake, the focus shifted to using the appropriate equation involving area and magnetic field. The discussion clarified the importance of using the correct parameters for accurate voltage calculations. The participant expressed gratitude for the correction and indicated a better understanding of the concept.

OK, so we have a stick 91cm long which is accelerated by 1m/s/s in a magnetic field B= 0.606T.

I need to find the induced voltage at time t = 288ms.

So U = B/V which is B/(a*t)

When i calculate i get 2 Volts which i think is too much. Plus the solution should be given in mV. Is this the correct result or I'm doing something wrong?

Uh, that equation is wrong. For one thing, it says a motionless stick (V=0) would generate an infinite amount of EMF!

What is the equation for EMF or U in terms of area and magnetic field?
 
Oh, sorry it's B * L * V, i missinterpreted l and /. Tnx, anyway it is a stupid equation the way i wrote it, I should have seen that.
 
No problem. If you're still stuck post again, but it sounds like you have it now.

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...
