A car is traveling at 40 km/hr in a point of the region where the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field has the magnitude 2x10^-5 T. Find the EMF induced in the car's vertical radio antenna, which is 1.2 m long.
Added by Andrea N.
Step 1
First, we need to convert the car's speed from km/hr to m/s. 40 km/hr * (1000 m/km) * (1 hr/3600 s) = 40 * (10^3) / 3600 = 40000 / 3600 = 100 / 9 ≈ 11.11 m/s Show more…

When a car drives through the Earth's magnetic field, an emf is induced in its vertical 50-cm-long radio antenna. If the Earth's field (5.0×10^−5 T) points north with a dip angle of 38°, what is the maximum emf induced in the antenna? The car's speed is 26.0 m/s on a horizontal road.

When a car drives through the Earth's magnetic field, an emf is induced in its vertical 50-cm-long radio antenna. What is the maximum emf induced in the antenna? The car's speed is 27.0 m/s on a horizontal road. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

An automobile has a vertical radio antenna 1.20 $\mathrm{m}$ long. The automobile travels at 65.0 $\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$ on a horizontal road where the Earth's magnetic field is 50.0$\mu \mathrm{T}$ directed toward the north and downward at an angle of $65.0^{\circ}$ below the horizontal. (a) Specify the direction that the automobile should move in order to generate the maximum motional emf in the antenna, with the top of the antenna positive relative to the bottom. (b) Calculate the magnitude of this induced emf.
