A 1.0 m long metallic rod is rotated with an angular frequency of 400 rad s–1 about an axis normal to the rod passing through its one end. The other end of the rod is in contact with a circular metallic ring. A constant and uniform magnetic field of 0.5 T parallel to the axis exists everywhere. Calculate the e.m.f. developed between the centre and the ring.

Solution
Here,
Length of the rod, l = 1 m
Angular frequency of roation, ω = 400 s
–1
Uniform magnetic field, B = 0.5 T
e.m.f  =?

Note that linear velocity of one end of rod is zero and linear velocity of other end is (l ω).
Therefore,
Average linear velocity
 v = 0+2 = l ω/2. (  ν = ) 

Hence, 

           e = Blv    = Bll ω2  = Bl2ω2   = 0.5 × 12 × 4002  = 100 V
