Answer 1

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Calculate the average induced voltage between the tips of the wings of a Boeing 747 flying at 970 km/hr above East Lansing. The downward component of the earth's magnetic field at this place is 0.7 × 10⁻⁴ T. (DATA: Assume that the wingspan is 60 meters.)

Answer:

the average induced voltage between the tips of the wings of a Boeing 747 flying is 1.132 Volts

Explanation:

Given that;

Speed S = 970 KM/hr

downward component of the earth's magnetic field B = 0.7 × 10⁻⁴

wingspan 1 = 60min

Velocity V = (970 × 10³) / 3600 = 269.44 m/s

So Average Induced Voltage E = VBI

we substitute

E = 269.44 × (0.7 × 10⁻⁴) × 60

E = 1.132 Volts

Therefore the average induced voltage between the tips of the wings of a Boeing 747 flying is 1.132 Volts
