An aeroplane, with its wings spread

Question:

An aeroplane, with its wings spread $10 \mathrm{~m}$, is flying at a speed of $180 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$ in a horizontal direction. The total intensity of earth's field at that part is $2.5 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~Wb} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$ and the angle of dip is $60^{\circ}$. The emf induced between the tips of the plane wings will be :-

 

  1. $108.25 \mathrm{mV}$

  2. $54.125 \mathrm{mV}$

  3. $88.37 \mathrm{mV}$

  4. $62.50 \mathrm{mV}$


Correct Option: 1

Solution:

$\epsilon=[\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{L}}]=\mathrm{BVL} \sin \theta$

$=\left(2.5 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}\right)\left(180 \times \frac{5}{18} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\right)(10 \mathrm{~m}) \sin 60^{\circ}$

$=108.25 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~V}$
