Question
A jet plane is travelling towards west at a speed of 1800 km/h. What is the voltage difference developed between the ends of the wing having a span of 25 m, if the Earth’s magnetic field at the location has a magnitude of 5 × 10−4 T and the dip angle is 30°.
Solution
Speed of the jet plane, v = 1800 km/h = 500 m/s
Wing spanof jet plane, l = 25 m
Earth’s magnetic field strength, B = 5.0 × 10−4 T
Angle of dip, δ = 30°
Vertical component of Earth’s magnetic field,
BV = B sin δ
= 5 × 10−4 sin 30°
= 2.5 × 10−4 T
Voltage difference between the ends of the wing can be calculated as:
e = (BV) × l × v
= 2.5 × 10−4 × 25 × 500
= 3.125 V
Hence, the voltage difference developed between the ends of the wings is 3.125 V.
