An airliner is flying due east from the USA to France. The Earth's magnetic field acts at \( 60^{\circ} \) to the horizontal and has a strength of \( \sqrt{3} \times 10^{-4} \, \text{T} \), and the aircraft speed is \( 300 \, \text{ms}^{-1} \). The wing span of the aircraft is 60 m. The potential difference induced between the tips of the wings is :

  1. A 2.7 V
  2. B 5.4 V
  3. C \( 9\sqrt{3} \times 10^{-1} \, \text{V} \)
  4. D Zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2.7 V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( B_{\text{vertical}} = B \sin\theta \) \( B_{\text{vertical}} = (\sqrt{3} \times 10^{-4} \, \text{T}) \sin(60^{\circ}) = (\sqrt{3} \times 10^{-4}) (\sqrt{3}/2) = (3/2) \times 10^{-4} \, \text{T} \) \( \mathcal{E} = B_{\text{vertical}} v L \)…
