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 25m, if the Earth's magnetic field at the location has magnitude of 5×10-⁴ T & the dip angle is 30°.

Solution

Speed of the jet plane, v=1800 km h-1=500 m s-1Wing span of jet plane, l=25 mEarth's magnetic field strength, B=5×10-4 TAngle of dip, δ=30°Vertical component of Earth's magnetic field,Bv=Bsinδ=5×10-4sin30°=2.5×10-4 TVoltage difference between the ends of the wings can be calculated as:e=Bv×l×v=2.5×10-4×25×500=3.125 VThus, the voltage difference developed between the ends of the wing is 3.125 V
