Rotating Rod in a Magnetic Field

by Notetube Official91 words5 views

A rod of length ll rotating about one end with angular velocity ω\omega in field BB (perpendicular to rotation plane): EMF =Bωl2/2= B\omega l^2/2. Derivation: a small element at distance rr from the pivot has velocity v=ωrv = \omega r, so dε=Bvdr=Bωrdrd\varepsilon = Bv\,dr = B\omega r\,dr. Integrating from 0 to ll: ε=Bωl2/2\varepsilon = B\omega l^2/2. Alternatively: the rod sweeps area dA/dt=l2ω/2dA/dt = l^2\omega/2 (sector area per unit time). For a disc of radius RR rotating: EMF between center and rim =BωR2/2= B\omega R^2/2 — this is the Faraday disc dynamo.
