Questions  

A vertical conducting ring of radius R falls vertically with a speed V in a horizontal uniform magnetic field B which is perpendicular to the plane of the ring. Which of the following statements is correct

a
A and B arc at the same potential
b
C and D are at the same potential
c
current flows in clockwise direction
d
current flows in anticlockwise direction

detailed solution

Correct option is B

When the ring falls vertically, there will be an induced emf across A and B (e = Bv(2r)). Note that there will be a Potential difference across any two Points on the ring, and the line joining these has a projected length in the horizontal plane. For example, between points P and Q there is a projected length x in the horizontal plane.∴  P.D. across P and Q is          V=BvxBut for points C and D, x = 0Therefore, P.D. = 0Hence (b)

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.
