Problem 3.290

A metal disc of radius a=25 cma=25 \mathrm{~cm} rotates with a constant angular velocity ω=130rad/s\omega=130 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s} about its axis. Find the potential difference between the centre and the rim of the disc if (a) the external magnetic field is absent; (b) the external uniform magnetic field of induction B=5.0mTB=5.0 \mathrm{mT} is directed perpendicular to the disc.

Reveal Answer
(a) Δφ=1/2ω2a2m/e=3.0\Delta \varphi=1 / 2 \omega^{2} a^{2} m / e=3.0 nV; (b) Δφ1/2ωBa2=20mV\Delta \varphi \approx 1 / 2 \omega B a^{2}= 20 mV
