Solution

The correct option is C i>0.5 A
As the sliding contact is being pulled, the current in the circuit changes.

An induced emf, E=Ldidt is produced across the inductor.

The net emf in the circuits is,

Enet=6 VLdidt

And hence the current is,

i=EnetR=6Ldidt12 ...(i) [At the instant shown]


Now the resistance in the circuit is increasing, so the current is decreases and so didt is negative.

Thus, the numerator of (i) is more than 6 and hence i is greater than 612=0.50 A.

Thus, option (B) is the correct answer.
