Physics Electromagnetic Induction Motional EMI MCQ (Single Correct)

A metal rod moves at a constant velocity in a direction perpendicular to its length. A constant uniform magnetic field exists in space in a direction perpendicular to the rod as well as its velocity. Select the correct statement(s) from the following

A
The entire rod is at the same electric potential
B
There is an electric field in the rod
C
The electric potential is highest at the centre of the rod and decreases towards its ends
D
The electric potential is lowest at the centre of the rod and increases towards its ends

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

A motional emf, is induced in the rod. Or we can say a potential difference is induced between the tow ends of the rod AB, with A at higher potential and at lower potential. Due to this potential difference, there is an electric field in the rod.
