उत्तर

The arm PQ is moved to the left side, thus decreasing the area of the rectangular loop. This movement induces a current I as shown.

Let us consider a straight conductor moving in a uniform and time-independent magnetic field. The figure shows a rectangular conductor PQRS in which the conductor PQ is free to move. The rod PQ is moved towards the left with a constant velocity v as shown in the figure. Assume that there is no loss of energy due to friction. PQRS forms a closed circuit enclosing an area that changes as PQ moves. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field B which is perpendicular to the plane of this system. If the length RQ = x and RS l the magnetic flux ∅B enclosed by the loop PQRS will be
B = Blx

Since x is changing with time, the rate of change of flux φB will induce an emf given by: 

`ε = -(d∅_B)/(dt) = - (d(Bl"x"))/(dt)`

= `-"B"l (d"x")/(d"t") = "B"l"v"`

where we have used dx/dt = – v which is the speed of the conductor PQ. The induced emf `"B"lv"` called motional emf. Thus, we are able to produce induced emf by moving a conductor instead of varying the magnetic field, that is, by changing the magnetic flux enclosed by the circuit. It is also possible to explain the motional emf expression by invoking the Lorentz force acting on the free charge carriers of conductor PQ. Consider any arbitrary charge q in the conductor PQ. When the rod moves with speed v, the charge will also be moving with speed v in the magnetic field B. The Lorentz force on this charge is qvB in magnitude, and its direction is towards Q. All charges experience the same force, in magnitude and direction, irrespective of their position in the rod PQ.

The work done in moving the charge from P to Q is,

`W = q"vB"l`

Since emf is the work done per unit charge,

`epsilon = "W"/q`

= `"B"l"v"`

This equation gives emf induced across the rod PQ
The total force on the charge at P is given by

`vec"F"= q(vec"E" + vec"v" xx vec"B")`
