A long bar slides on two contact points and is in motion with velocity ν. A steady, uniform, magnetic field B is present. The induced current through resistor R is:

The induced current in the resistor is I = BLv/R

Explanation:

The induced emf ε in the long bar of length, L in a magnetic field of strength, B moving with a velocity, v is given by

ε = BLv.

Now, the current I in the resistor is given by

I = ε/R where ε = induced emf in circuit and R = resistance of resistor.

So, the current I = ε/R.

substituting the value of ε the induced emf, we have

I = ε/R

I = BLv/R

So, the induced current through the resistor is given by I = BLv/R
