MuItipIe Choice with ONE correct answer
1.A metal rod moves at a constant velocity in a direction perpendicular to its length. A constant uniform magnetic field exists in space in a direction perpendicular to the rod as well as its velocity. Select the correct statement(s) from the following [1985-2 marks]
a)The entire rod is at same electric potential.
b)There is an electric field in the rod
c)The electric potential is highest at the centre of the rod and increases towards its ends.
d)The electric potential is lowest at the centre of the rod and decreases towards its ends
Ans.(b) Let the metal rod AB move parallel to x-axis. Let the uniform magnetic field point in positive z- direction. The free electrons of the metal rod will experience magnetic force towards B. So there will be excess of electrons on B- end and shortage of electrons on A-end. The end A becomes positively charged and the end B becomes negatively charged. An electric field is therefore setup in the metal rod. Option (b) is correct.
