(a) A jet airplane with a 75.0 mwingspan is flying at 280 m /s. What emf is induced between wingtips if the vertical component of the Earth’s field is3.00×10-5T? (b) Is an emf of this magnitude likely to have any consequences? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The emf induced is obtained as: 0.63 V.
  2. No, there are no consequences for such small emf.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

Wingspan of jet is 75.0 m.

Velocity of jet is 280 m/s

Vertical component of Earth’s magnetic field is3.00×10-5T

02

Define Electromagnetic Induction

The creation of an electromotive force across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field is known as electromagnetic or magnetic induction. Induction was discovered in by Michael Faraday, and it was mathematically characterized as Faraday's law of induction by James Clerk Maxwell.

03

Evaluating the emf included(a)

The motional emf will be simply given by the equation:

e=BLv…â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦..(1)

The value of B is the magnetic field, the value of L is the length of the wingspan, and the value of v is the velocity.

Substituting the given data in equation (1) will give,

ε=3.00×10-5T×75m×280m/s=0.63V

Therefore, the emf induced is: 0.63 V.

04

Explanation of part(b)

Such emf is not likely to create any problem in the functioning of the aircraft. Then also, friction with the air creates charges, and then it leads to the planes having sharp edges where they can discharge these charges from.

Therefore, emf of this magnitude does not have any consequences.
