A wire cd of length l and mass m is sliding without friction on conducting rails ax and by as shown. The vertical rails are connected to each other with a resistance R between a and b. A uniform magnetic field B is applied perpendicular to the plane abcd such that cd moves with a constant velocity of 

a
mgRBl
b
mgRB2l2
c
mgRB3l3
d
mgRB2l

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Due to magnetic field, wire will experience an upward force   F=Bil=B BvlR l⇒F=B2vl2RIf wire slides down with constant velocity then F=mg⇒B2vl2R=mg⇒v=mgRB2l2

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.
