EMF Induced in a Moving Conductor

Given:

Uniform magnetic field perpendicular to area bounded by a U shaped conductor and a movable rod

Rod moves to the right with velocity v

 
x= D FB

FB = B A     ð

x= B DA/Dt

DA = l v Dt     ð

x= B l v









Note that the field is going out of the paper

Using right hand rule, it can be seen that the force on the electron is as shown
