QUESTION 1

a) A conductor shown in the Figure 1 is moving with a velocity of 20 m/s to the right in a
magnetic field. The flux density is 1.0T, out of the page, and the wire is 2.0 m in length,
oriented as shown.
i) What are the magnitude and polarity of the resulting induced voltage?
(3 marks)
ii) A conductor then is formed into linear machine as in Figure 2. It has a magnetic flux
density B which directed into the page. Where is the direction of the initial motion on
the bar at starting?
