A conducting wire bent in the shape of semicircle has length L and moves in its plane with constant velocity v. A uniform magnetic field B exists in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the wire. The velocity makes an angle 45°to the diameter joining free ends and the emf induced between the ends of the wire is Φ=α(BvL). The value of constant α is

The correct answer is: 2π

The induced emf in the semicircular wire is 

e=BlVsinθ

For semicircular section the effective length is l=2r=2Lπ

e=B×2Lπ×V×sin45=2π×BVL

After comparing from given equation α=2π
