A wire of length l, mass m, and resistance R slides without any friction down the parallel conducting rails of negligible resistance (figure). The rails are connected to
each other at the bottom by a resistanceless rail parallel to the wire so that the wire and the rails form a closed rectangular conducting loop. The plane of the rails makes
an angle θ with the horizontal and a uniform vertical magnetic field of induction B exists throughout the region. Find the steady state velocity of the wire.

a
mgRsin⁡θB2l2cos2⁡θ
b
mgRsin2⁡θB2l2cos2⁡θ
c
mgRsin⁡θB2l2cos2⁡θ
d
mgRsin2⁡θB2l2cos⁡θ

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Bilcos⁡θ=mgsin⁡θ......(i)Here induced emf across slider is e=(Bcos⁡θ)lv∴  Induced current I=Blvcos⁡θRFrom Eq. (i)Blcos⁡θBlvcos⁡θR=mgsin⁡θ∴ v=mgRsin⁡θB2l2cos2⁡θ

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.
