Two rails of a railway track,insulated from each other and the ground,are connected to a millivoltmeter. What is the reading of the voltmeter when a train travels with a speed of $180 \ km/hr$ along the track? Given that the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field is $0.2 \times 10^{-4} \ Wb/m^2$ and the rails are separated by $1 \ m$.

  • A
    $10^{-2} \ V$
  • B
    $10^{-4} \ V$
  • C
    $10^{-3} \ V$
  • D
    $1 \ V$
