A rectangular loop of wire with dimensions shown in figure is coplanar with a long wire carrying current I. The distance bet-ween the wire and the left side of the loop is r. The loop is pulled to the right as indicated. What are the directions of the induced current in the loop and the magnetic forces on the left and the right sides of the loop when the loop is pulled?

a
Induced current               Force on left side             Force on right sideCounterclockwise                      To the left                             To the left
b
Induced current               Force on left side             Force on right sideCounterclockwise                      To the right                             To the left
c
Induced current               Force on left side             Force on right side      clockwise                           To the right                             To the left
d
Induced current               Force on left side             Force on right side      clockwise                             To the left                             To the right

detailed solution

Correct option is D

As the flux decreases, to maintain flux, current in the loop is clockwise. Force on DA due to the long wire is towards left while on BC is towards right.

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.
