When a conductor of length moves with velocity perpendicular to a uniform field : . Origin: the Lorentz force acts on free electrons in the conductor, pushing them to one end, creating a potential difference. The induced EMF is equivalent to a battery with the higher potential end determined by the direction of . For a rod on rails with resistance : current , retarding force , power dissipated .
