Question 16

A satellite in a low Earth orbit deploys a conducting tether of length 12 km that extends radially outwards from the Earth. The satellite and tether travel horizontally at an orbital speed of 7.5 km s-1 through a region where the Earth's magnetic field is perpendicular to both the tether and its direction of motion.

If the magnetic flux density in this region is 4.5×10−5 T4.5 \times 10^{-5}\text{ T}4.5×10−5 T, what is the magnitude of the electromotive force (emf) induced across the ends of the tether?
