∴ e = B l v volts (2)
Equation 2 gives the induced emf when plane of motion is exactly perpendicular to the
plane of flux. This is the maximum possible emf as plane of motion is at right angles to
plane of the flux.

Magnitude of Dynamically Induced EMF
But if the conductor is moving with a velocity v but at a certain angle 𝜗 measured with respect to direction of the field (plane
of flux) as shown in the figure then component of velocity which is perpendicular to the direction of flux is vsin 𝜃 which is
responsible for the induced emf. The other component vcos 𝜃 is parallel to the plane of the flux and hence will not contribute
to the dynamically induced emf.
under this condition magnitude of induced emf is given by,
e=Blv sin 𝜃 volts. Where 𝜃 is measured with respect to plane of the flux.

Direction of of Dynamically Induced EMF
Fleming’s Right Hand Rule: According to Fleming’s right hand rule, outstretch the three
fingers of right hand namely the thumb, fore finger and the middle finger, perpendicular to
each other. Arrange the right hand so that first finger point in the direction of flux and thumb
in the direction o f motion of conductor with respect to flux then the middle finger will point
in the direction of induced emf (or current ).
The magnitude of the force experienced by the conductor depends on the following factors,
a. Flux density(B) of the magnetic field in which the conductor is placed measured in tesla,
b. Magnitude of the current (I) passing through the conductor in amperes.
c. Active length (l) of the conductor in meters.
If the conductor is at right angles to the magnetic field as shown in the figure‘a’ then the
force F is given by, F= BIl Newtons
But if the conductor is not exactly at right angles, but inclined at angle 𝜃 degrees with
respect to axis of magnetic field as shown in the figure‘b’ then the force F is given by
F=BIlsin θ

Magnitude of Force on Current Carrying Conductor
As shown in the figure ‘c’, if the conductor is kept along the lines of magnetic field the θ=0
and as sin0=0, the force experienced by the conductor is also zero.
