Question

A pair of parallel conducting rails lie at right angle to a uniform magnetic field of 2.0 T as shown in the fig. Two resistors 10Ω and 5Ω are to slide without friction along the rail. The distance between the conducting rails is 0.1 m. Then


A
Induced current = directed clockwise if 10Ω resistor is pulled to the right with speed 0.5ms-1 and 5Ω resistor is held fixed

Solution

The correct option is D Induced current = directed anti-clockwise if 5Ω resistor is pulled to the left with speed 0.5ms-1 and 10Ω resistor is held at rest

When 5Ω resistor is pulled left at 0.5 m/sec induced emf., in the said resistor
=e=vBl=0.5× 2× 0.1=0.1V
Resistor 10Ω is at rest so induced emf in it (e=vBl) be zero.
Now net emf., in the circuit=0.1V and Equivalent resistance of the circuit
R=15 Ω



Hence current i=0.115 amp=1150amp
And its direction will be anti-clockwise (according to Lenz's law)
