Question
Why must part of the circuit be moving relative to other parts, to have usable motional emf? Consider, for example, that the rails as shown are stationary relative to the magnetic field, while the rod moves.

Figure 23.11 (a) A motional emf = Btv is induced between the rails when this rod moves to the right in the uniform magnetic field. The magnetic
field B is into the page, perpendiculer to the moving rod and rails and, hence, to the area enclosed by them. (b) Lenz's law gives the directions of the
induced field and current, and the polarity of the induced emf. Since the flux is increasing, the induced field is in the opposite direction, or out of the
page. RHR-2 gives the current direction shown, and the polarity of the rod will drive such a current. RHR-1 also indicates the same polarity for the rod.
(Note that the script E symbol used in the equivalent circuit at the bottom of part (b) represents emf.)
