A conducting wire of mass m slides down two smooth conducting bars, set at an angle θ to the horizontal as shown in figure. The separation between the bars is l. The
system is located in the magnetic field B, perpendicular to the plane of the sliding wire and bars. The constant velocity of the wire is

a
mgRsin⁡θB2l2
b
mgRsin⁡θBl3
c
mgRθB2l5
d
mgRsin⁡θBl4

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Component of weight along the inclined plane = mg sin θ Again, Fm=Bil=BBlvRl=B2l2vRFor constant velocity, the magnetic force is balanced by component of weight along the inclined plane. Now, B2l2vR=mgsin⁡θ  or  v=mgRsin⁡θB2l2

The diagram shows a circuit having a coil of resistance R=2.5Ω and inductance L connected to a conducting rod PQ which can slide on a perfectly conducting circular ring of radius 10 cm with its centre at 'P'. Assume that friction and gravity are absent and a constant uniform magnetic field of 5 T exists as shown in figure.

At t = 0, the circuit is switched on and simultaneously a time varying external torque is applied on the rod so that it rotates about P with a constant angular velocity 40 rad/s. Find magnitude of this torque (in milli Nm) when current reaches half of its maximum value. Neglect the self-inductance of the loop formed by the circuit.
