What is motional $emf$?
(N/A) Motional $emf$ is the electromotive force $(emf)$ induced in a conductor when it moves through a magnetic field.
When a conductor of length $l$ moves with a velocity $v$ perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field $B$,the magnetic force on the free electrons causes a charge separation,creating an electric field.
The induced $emf$ is given by the formula $\varepsilon = Blv$,where $B$ is the magnetic field strength,$l$ is the length of the conductor,and $v$ is the velocity of the conductor perpendicular to the field.

View SolutionThe figure shows an isosceles triangle wire frame with an apex angle equal to $\pi / 2$. The frame starts entering into the region of a uniform magnetic field $B$ with a constant velocity $v$ at $t = 0$. The longest side of the frame is perpendicular to the direction of velocity. If $i$ is the instantaneous current through the frame,then choose the alternative showing the correct variation of $i$ with time.
