A Boeing 747 jet with a wingspan of 60.0 m is flying horizontally at a speed of 300 m/s over Phoenix, Arizona, at a location where Earth's magnetic field is 50.0 μT at 58.0 below the horizontal. What voltage is generated between the wingtips?

The voltage generated between the wingtips is 0.76324 volts

Explanation:

the voltage generated between the winds is given by:

ε = B*L*v*sin (∅)

where B = 50*10^-6 T is the magnetic field of the earth, L = 60 m is the wingspan, v = 300 m/s is the velocity of the jet and ∅ is the between the horizontal and thr earths magnetic field. then:

ε = B*L*v*sin (∅)

= (50*10^-6) * (60) * (300) * sin (58)

= 0.76324 volts

Therefore, the voltage generated between the wingtips is 0.76324 volts
