Solution

The correct option is B mLv0
In the given question, as the magnetic filed is perpendicular to the velocity of the rod and the length of the rod is perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the velocity, E=Blv
At any time t, let the current in the circuit be i and the velocity of the wire be v.

By Kirchoff's Loop law, we can write Blv=Ldidt

When current is maximum, didt=0v=0

So, the kinetic energy of the rod is completely converted into electromagnetic energy of the inductor.

Therefore, if the maximum current is i0, we can write 12Li20=12mv20

So, i0=mLv0
