A player with 3 m long iron rod runs towards east with a speed of 30 km/hr. Horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is  4×105Wb/m2. If he is running with rod in horizontal and vertical positions, then the potential difference induced between the two ends of the rod in two cases will be

a
Zero in vertical position and 1×10−3V in horizontal position
b
1×10−3V in vertical position and zero is horizontal position
c
Zero in both cases
d
1×10−3V in both cases

detailed solution

Correct option is B

If player is running with rod in vertical position towards east, then rod cuts the magnetic field of earth perpendicularly (magnetic field of earth is south to north).Hence Maximum emf induced is  e=Bvl=4×10−5×30×10003600×3=1×10−3voltWhen he is running with rod in horizontal position, no field is cut by the rod, so e = 0.

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.
