A horizontal circular disk of radius \(R\) shown in perspective as a thin tilted ellipse. A vertical dashed line passes through the center of the disk to represent the rotation axis, with a curved arrow near the top labeled \(\omega\) indicating clockwise rotation when viewed from above. Uniform magnetic field vectors, represented by four evenly spaced vertical downward arrows labeled \(\vec{B}\), pass perpendicularly through the disk. A stationary conductive wire brush makes contact with the central axis, and a second brush touches the outer edge of the disk. These brushes connect to two outer wire leads leading toward an external resistor symbol labeled \(R_{\text{ext}}\). No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
A copper disk of radius \(R\) rotating at angular speed \(\omega\) in a uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}\).
A flat, circular copper disk of radius \(R\) rotates about its central axis with a constant angular speed \(\omega\). A uniform magnetic field of magnitude \(B\) is directed perpendicular to the surface of the disk. Stationary electrical brushes touch the central axle and the outer rim of the disk to connect them across an external resistor, forming a closed circuit.

Which of the following statements correctly identifies the potential difference \(\Delta V\) generated between the central axle and the outer rim, along with the physical explanation for its generation?
