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 Pair Of Parallel Conducting Rails Lie At Right Angle To A ...
Options:
A .  Induced current = 1150A directed clockwise if 10Ω resistor is pulled to the right with speed 0.5ms−1 and 5Ω resistor is held fixed
B .  Induced current = 1300A directed anti-clockwise if 10Ω resistor is pulled to the right with speed 0.5ms−1 and 5Ω resistor is held fixed
C .  Induced current = 1300A directed clockwise if 5Ω resistor is pulled to the left at speed 0.5ms−1 and 10Ω resistor is held at rest
D .  Induced current =1150A directed anti-clockwise if 5Ω resistor is pulled to the left with speed 0.5ms−1 and 10Ω resistor is held at rest
Answer: Option D
:
D
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=15Ω
A Pair Of Parallel Conducting Rails Lie At Right Angle To A ...
Hence current i=0.115 amp=1150amp
And its direction will be anti-clockwise (according to Lenz's law)
