The two rails of a railway track, insulated from each other and the ground, are connected to a milli voltmeter. What is the reading of the milli voltmeter when a train travels at a speed of 180 km/hour along the track, given that the vertical component of earth's magnetic field is 0.2×10−40.2 \times 10^{-4} weber/m2 & the rails are separated by 1 meter?
