EMF Induction in a Falling Wire

EMF Induction in a Falling Wire

This simulation demonstrates electromagnetic induction in a horizontal wire falling through Earth's magnetic field. The wire (10m long) moves east-west and falls at right angles to the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field (0.30 × 10⁻⁴ Wb/m²).

Wire Parameters

Value: 10 m
Value: 5.0 m/s

Magnetic Field

Value: 0.3 × 10⁻⁴ Wb/m²

Simulation Results

Induced EMF: 1.5 × 10⁻³ V
Direction of EMF: West to East
Higher potential end: East end
