In 1996 NASA performed an experiment, called the Tethered Satellite experiment.
In this experiment, a 20000 m length of wire was let out by the space shuttle
Atlantis to generate a motional emf. The shuttle had an orbital speed of
7600 m/s, and the magnitude of the earth's magnetic field at the location
of the wire was .000051 T. If the wire had moved perpendicular to the
earth's magnetic field, what would have been the motional emf induced
between the ends of the wire?
