- Paragraph:
Redox reaction play a pivotal role in chemistry and biology. The values of standard redox potential \(\left(E^{\circ}\right)\) of two half-cell reactions decide which way the reaction is expected to proceed. A simple example is a Daniel cell in which zinc goes into solution and copper gets deposited. Given below are a set of half-cell reactions (acidic medium) along with their \(E^{\circ}(V\) with respect to normal hydrogen electrode) values. Using this data obtain the correct explanations to Questions 14-19.

- Paragraph:
In a thin rectangular metallic strip a constant current \(I\) flows along the positive \(x\)-direction, as shown in the figure. The length, width and thickness of the strip are \(l, w\) and \(d\), respectively.
A uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}\) is applied on the strip along the positive \(y\)-direction. Due to this, the charge carriers experience a net deflection along the \(z\)-direction. This results in accumulation of charge carriers on the surface \(P Q R S\) and appearance of equal and opposite charges on the face opposite to \(P Q R S\). A potential difference along the \(z\)-direction is thus developed. Charge accumulation continues until the magnetic force is balanced by the electric force. The current is assumed to be uniformly distributed on the cross section of the strip and carried by electrons.

Question:

Strip \(1\) is placed in magnetic field \(B_{1}\) and strip \(2\) is placed in magnetic field \(B_{2}\), both along positive \(y\)-directions. Then \(V_{1}\) and \(V_{2}\) are the potential differences developed between \(K\) and \(M\) in strips \(1\) and \(2\), respectively.
