- Homework Statement
- I made up this problem and it is not a homework.
The tale goes like this: A rod moving with a constant speed towards the left on a U-shaped conductor in a uniform magnetic field B that is directed into the page. The width of the U-shaped conductor is L and the length of the rod is L'. V1 is connected across the part of the rod making contact with U-shaped conductor thus completing the circuit, whereas V2 is connected across the whole rod. The voltmeters are assumed co-planar with the rod as far as we're concerned and are held in a plane perpendicular to it.
- Relevant Equations
- ε=∮(v̅×B̅)•dl̅=-dΦ/dt
I am saying that V1=V2 since the emf induced in the rod is the same for both cases equal BLv. Am I correct?
