Consider the situation shown in the figure. The wire \(A B\) is sliding on the fixed rails with a constant velocity. If the wire \(A B\) is replaced by semicircular wire, the magnitude of the induced current will

  1. A increase
  2. B remain the same
  3. C decrease
  4. D increase or decrease depending whether the semicircle bulges towards the resistance or away from it
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) remain the same

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnitude of induced current in the wire \(A B\) is given as \[ I=\frac{B v l \sin \theta}{R} \] Here, \[ \begin{aligned} & \theta=90^{\circ} \\ & I=\frac{B v l}{R} \end{aligned} \] \[ \therefore \] When wire \(A B\) is replaced by semicircular wire, then neither \(l\) nor…
