Figure 6.20 shows a metal rod PQ resting on the smooth rails AB and positioned between
the poles of a permanent magnet. The rails, the rod, and the magnetic field are in three
mutual perpendicular directions. A galvanometer G connects the rails through a switch K.
Length of the rod = 15 cm, B = 0.50 T, resistance of the closed loop containing the rod
= 9.0 m2. Assume the field to be uniform.
(a) Suppose K is open and the rod is moved with a speed of 12 cm s-1 in the direction
shown. Give the polarity and magnitude of the induced emf.
