1. Arrangement. Consider two straight, parallel conducting rails a distance apart, lying in a plane, placed in a region of uniform magnetic field perpendicular to that plane. A conducting rod of length rests across the rails and is free to slide, completing the circuit with the rails and any external resistor/load.
2. Change in flux. The magnetic flux linked with the circuit is , where is the area enclosed between the rod and the closed end of the rails. If the rod is pulled with velocity , the enclosed area increases (or decreases) at the rate
so the flux changes at the rate
3. Induced emf (Faraday's Law). By Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction,
The magnitude of the induced emf is therefore
