Homework Statement
Excuse me for the bad drawing:
A conductor moving with a speed of 2.5 m/s in an uniform magnetic field (1.2 T) as declared in the picture below. Calculate the voltage induced in the rod.
Homework Equations
E = vBL
W = F d cos[/B]
The Attempt at a Solution
The resulting magnetic force in the -y direction and now I just need to find the voltage
## E = \frac{qvBL sin(\theta)}{q} ##
which is
## E = vBL sin(\theta) ##
## E = 2.54567 \text{volts} ##
The same book gave me an answer without considering sin(theta). The problem that book has some pretty good ideas sometimes and for the easy questions I usually find mistakes.
It even asked me to substitute E in faradays law to get the change in magnetic flux which makes no sense because it is not a closed loop
