A cycle wheel of radius is rotated with a constant angular velocity of in a region of a magnetic field of which is perpendicular to the plane of the wheel. The EMF generated between its centre and the rim is:
zero
The induced electromotive force (emf) generated between the center (axle) and the rim of a rotating conductor (like a wheel or rod) in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of rotation is given by the formula : Where: is the magnetic field strength (). is the angular velocity ().
Calculation:
Note: Even if the wheel has multiple spokes, they are connected in parallel between the center and the rim, so the net emf remains the same as that of a single spoke .
