Question

State whether the following statement is True or False.

If a conductor moves perpendicular to a magnetic field, an induced p.d. appears across its ends.

Answer 1

This statement is true.

Explanation:

• When a conductor cuts magnetic field lines, charges in it experience a force and separate, producing a potential difference.
• Moving perpendicular to the field gives maximum cutting of flux, so induced e.m.f./p.d. appears across the conductor ends.
