प्रश्न
A conducting rod held horizontally along East- West direction is dropped from rest from a certain height near the Earth’s surface. Why should there be an induced emf across the end of the rod? Draw a plot showing the instantaneous variation of emf as a function of time from the instant it begins to fall.

उत्तर
Emf induced due to change of magnetic flux across rod due to the presence of Earth’s magnetic field.
We know,
`E =(dphi_B)/(dt)`
As the Earth’s magnetic field is uniform,
`E =-Blv = -Bl (dx)/(dt)`
Hence,

The reduction factor K of a tangent galvanometer is written on the instrument. The manual says that the current is obtained by multiplying this factor to tan θ. The procedure works well at Bhuwaneshwar. Will the procedure work if the instrument is taken to Nepal? If there is same error, can it be corrected by correcting the manual or the instrument will have to be taken back to the factory?
