A conductor of length I and mass m can slide without any friction along the two vertical conductors connected at the top through a capacitor (figure). A uniform magnetic field B is setupto the plane of paper. The acceleration of the conductor

a
is constant
b
increases
c
decreases
d
cannot say

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Let v is the velocity of conductor at any time,then induced emf : e=Blv……..(i)Charge on capacitor : q=Ce=CBlvCurrent in circuit : i=dqdt=CBldvdtfor conductor: mg−iBl=mdvdt⇒mg−CB2l2dvdt=mdvdt ⇒dvdt=mgm+CB2l2This is the acceleration of conductor which is constant.

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.
