A metal blade of length L = 300 cm spins at a constant rate of 17 rad/s about an axis that is perpendicular to the blade and through its center. A uniform magnetic field B = 4.0 mT is perpendicular to the plane of rotation. What is the magnitude of the potential difference (in V) between the center of the blade and either of its ends?

We are being given that:

A pictorial view showing the diagrammatic representation of the information given in the question is being attached in the image below.

From the attached image below, the potential difference across the conducting element of the length (dx) moving with the velocity (v) appears to be perpendicular to the magnetic field (B).

The magnitude of the potential difference induced between the center of the blade in relation to either of its ends can be determined by using the derived formula from Faraday's law of induction which can be expressed as:

where;

From the diagram, Let consider the length of the conducting element (dx) at a distance of length (x) from the center O.

Then, the velocity (v) = ωx

The potential difference across it can now be expressed as:

For us to determine the potential difference, we need to carry out the integral form from center point O to L/2.

∴

Recall that,

Thus, we can now conclude that the magnitude of the potential difference as a result of the rotation caused by the metal blade from the center to either of its ends is 19.13 mV.
