In 1996, NASA performed an experiment called the Tethered Satellite experiment. In this experiment, a 1.70 x 104 - m length of wire was let out by the space shuttle Atlantis to generate a motional emf. The shuttle had an orbital speed of 7.70 x 10³ m/s, and the magnitude of the earth's magnetic field at the location of the wire was 5.10 x 10-5 T. If the wire had moved perpendicular to the earth's magnetic field, wat would have been the motional emf generated between the ends of the wire?

Pulsars, or neutron stars, rotate at a fairly high speed, and they are surrounded by strong magnetic fields. The material in neutron stars is a good conductor, and hence a motional emf is induced between the center of the neutron star and the rim. Suppose that a neutron star of radius 12 km rotates at the rate of 35 rev/s and that the magnetic field has a strength of 1.00 x 108 T. What is the emf induced between the center of the star and a point on its equator?
