. EMF in a Bullet. At the equator, the earth's magnetic field is approximately horizontal and is directed toward the north and has a value of .

Part A
Estimate the emf induced between the top and bottom of a bullet shot horizontally at a target on the equator if the bullet is shot toward the east. Assume the bullet has a length of 1 cm and a diameter of 0.4 cm and is traveling at 300 .

The induced emf is given by
Blvsin = 8*10-5*0.4*10-2*300*sin900 = 9.6*10-5 V
9.6*10-5

V

Part B
Which is at higher potential, the top or bottom of the bullet?

The direction of induced current is ...
