The potential difference appearing across the ends of a conductor if as it passes through a magnetic field also depends on the __________ of the angle at which the flux lines are 'cut'
A) sine
B) cosine
C) tangent

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The potential difference appearing across the ends of a conductor as it passes through a magnetic field depends on the rate of change of magnetic flux. This rate of change is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field, the length of the conductor, and the sine of the angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the conductor. Therefore, the correct choice is A) sine.
