Chapter 32, Problem 33SP

A train is moving directly south at a constant speed of 10 m/s. If the downward vertical component of the Earth’s magnetic field is 0.54 G, compute the magnitude and direction of the emf induced in a rail car axle 1.2 m long.

The wingspan (tip to tip) of an air plane is 42 m. The plane is flying horizontally at a speed of 350 km per hour. The vertical component of the earth’s magnetic field is 5.0 ×10–6 T. Find the emf induced between the wing tips.
An aeroplane is flying due North at a speed of 227 m/s. The distance between the tips of the two wings is 49 m. If the magnetic field has a strength =5 µT perpendicular to the wings, calculate the the magnitude of the induced emf between the ends of the wings? Write your answer in volts.
A jet airplane with a 75.0 m wingspan is flying at 295 m/s. What emf is induced between the wing tips in V if the vertical component of the Earth’s magnetic field is 3.00 × 10-5 T?
