प्रश्न
How does one understand this motional emf by invoking the Lorentz force acting on the free charge carriers of the conductor? Explain.

उत्तर
The magnetic force `(qvecvxxvecB)`component of the Lorentz force is responsible for motional electromotive force. When a conductor is moved through a magnetic field, the magnetic force tries to push the free electrons through the wire, and this creates the motional EMF.

Figure shows a metallic wire of resistance 0.20 Ω sliding on a horizontal, U-shaped metallic rail. The separation between the parallel arms is 20 cm. An electric current of 2.0 µA passes through the wire when it is slid at a rate of 20 cm s−1.

Answer the following question.
Two infinitely long straight wire A1 and A2 carrying currents I and 2I flowing in the same direction are kept' distance apart.
