Voltage Generated in a Moving Wire

When a conductor moves through a magnetic field, there will be a generated motional emf. This is one example of Faraday's Law and it arises from the magnetic force. The voltage generated in a length of wire, presuming that the entire length moves through a uniform field, is given below. Magnetic interactions with charge Magnetic force applications

If the velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field then the generated voltage is given by the simple product:
