A Boeing 747 jet with a wingspan of 60.0 m is flying horizontally at a speed of 300 m/s over Phoenix, Arizona, at a location where Earth's magnetic field is 50.0 μT at 58.0 below the horizontal. What voltage is generated between the wingtips?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The voltage generated between the wingtips is 0.76324 volts

Explanation:

the voltage generated between the winds is given by:

ε = B×L×v×sin(∅)

where B = 50×10^-6 T is the magnetic field of the earth, L = 60 m is the wingspan, v = 300 m/s is the velocity of the jet and ∅ is the between the horizontal and thr earths magnetic field. then:

ε = B×L×v×sin(∅)

  = (50×10^-6)×(60)×(300)×sin(58)

  = 0.76324 volts

Therefore, the voltage generated between the wingtips is 0.76324 volts
