Answer:
A) B = 5.4 10⁻⁵ T, B) the positive side of the bar is to the West
Explanation:
A) For this exercise we must use the expression of Faraday's law for a moving body
fem =
fem = - d (B l y) / dt = - B lv
B =
we calculate
B = - 7.9 10⁻⁴ /(0.73 20)
B = 5.4 10⁻⁵ T
B) to determine which side of the bar is positive, we must use the right hand rule
the thumb points in the direction of the rod movement to the south, the magnetic field points in the horizontal direction and the rod is in the east-west direction.
Therefore the force points in the direction perpendicular to the velocity and the magnetic field is in the east direction; therefore the positive side of the bar is to the West
