A spark can jump between two nontouching conductors if the potential difference between them is sufficiently large. A potentialdifference of approximately 940 V is required to produce a spark in an air gap of 1.0 x 104 m. Suppose the light bulb in the figure isreplaced by such a gap. How fast would a 2.55-m rod have to be moving in a magnetic field of 6.03 T to cause a spark to jump across thegap?NumberUnitsXXXxXxXMXConducting railX

let v be the velocity of the rod, then the induced emf (potential across the gap) is ε=vBl where,…
