Motional EMF Formula Elements

Variables
Electromotive Force
Electromotive force is the capability of the system to make the charge flow.
Symbol: ε
Measurement: Electric PotentialUnit: V
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Magnetic Field
Magnetic fields are produced by electric currents, which can be macroscopic currents in wires, or microscopic currents associated with electrons in atomic orbits.
Symbol: B
Measurement: Magnetic FieldUnit: Wb/m²
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Length
Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.
Symbol: Lemf
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Velocity
Velocity is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction) and is the rate of change of the position of an object with respect to time.
Symbol: v
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Motional EMF?

Motional EMF evaluator uses Electromotive Force = Magnetic Field*Length*Velocity to evaluate the Electromotive Force, The Motional EMF formula is defined as the electromotive force in terms of magnetic field, length of the object moving at speed v relative to the strength of the magnetic field B. Electromotive Force is denoted by ε symbol.

How to evaluate Motional EMF using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Motional EMF, enter Magnetic Field (B), Length (Lemf) & Velocity (v) and hit the calculate button.
