A rod AB moves with uniform velocity v in a uniform magnetic field as shown in the figure. Identify the correct statement(s) among the following:
image
(A) Rod becomes electrically charged.
(B) End A becomes positively charged.
(C) End B becomes positively charged.
(D) Rod becomes hot due to joule's heating.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (B) only
  2. B (A) and (D) only
  3. C (B) and (D) only
  4. D (C) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (B) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Electrons in the rod experience a Lorentz force \( \vec{F} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) \). Given \( \vec{v} \) to the right and \( \vec{B} \) into the page, negative charges (electrons) are pushed towards end B. This causes end B to become negatively charged and end A to become…
