Question

State the Lenz's law regarding electromagnetic induction. This law is based on the conservation law of which quantity?
A horizontal conducting wire of length 2 m oriented in east-west direction is falling down with a speed of 5 m/s perpendicular to the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field of $0.3 \times 10^{-4} T.$ Calculate the instantaneous value of induced emf across the ends of the wire.

Answer

Lenz's Law : According to this law, "The direction of induced emf (or say induced current) in a circuit is such that it always opposes the cause or say change due to which it is produced."
In the mathematical expression of Faraday's second law of electromagnetic induction negative sign is the representation of Lenz's law.
This law is based on the law of conservation of energy.
Solution of Numerical question :
Instantaneous value of induced emf across the ends of the wire:
$e=Bvl \sin\theta \Rightarrow e=B_{H}vl \sin 90^{\circ}=B_{H}vl$
$e=(0.3 \times 10^{-4} T) \times (5 m/s) \times (2 m)$
$=0.3 \times 10^{-3} volt = 0.3 mV$

Consider a variation of the previous problem (figure). Suppose the circular loop lies in a vertical plane. The rod has a mass m. The rod and the loop have negligible resistances but the wire connecting O and C has a resistance R. The rod is made to rotate with a uniform angular velocity $\omega$ in the clockwise direction by applying a force at the midpoint of OA in a direction perpendicular to it. Find the magnitude of this force when the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical.
