- 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:
Consider two different metallic strips (\(1\) and \(2\)) of the same material. Their lengths are the same, widths are \(w_{1}\) and \(w_{2}\) and thicknesses are \(d_{1}\) and \(d_{2}\), respectively. Two points \(K\) and \(M\) are symmetrically located on the opposite faces parallel to the \(x-y\) plane (see figure). \(V_{1}\) and \(V_{2}\) are the potential differences between \(K\) and \(M\) in strips \(1\) and \(2\), respectively. Then, for a given current \(I\) flowing through them in a given magnetic field strength \(B\), the correct statement(s) is(are)JEE Advanced 2015 Medium - A circuit is connected as shown in the figure with the switch \(S\) open.

JEE Advanced 2008 Medium - In the circuit shown below, the switch \(\mathrm{S}\) is connected to position \(\mathrm{P}\) for a long time so that the charge on the capacitor becomes \(q_{1} \mu \mathrm{C}\). Then \(\mathrm{S}\) is switched to position \(\mathrm{Q}\). After a long time, the charge on the capacitor is \(q_{2} \mu \mathrm{C}\).

Consider a simple \(R C\) circuit as shown in Figure \(1\).
Process 1: In the circuit the switch \(S\) is closed at \(t=0\) and the capacitor is fully charged to voltage \(V_{0}\) (i.e., charging continues for time \(T>>R C\) ). In the process some dissipation \(\left(E_{D}\right)\) occurs across the resistance \(R\). The amount of energy finally stored in the fully charged capacitor is \(E_{C}\).
Process 2: In a different process the voltage is first set to \(\frac{V_{0}}{3}\) and maintained for a charging time \(T>>R C\). Then the voltage is raised to \(\frac{2 V_{0}}{3}\) without discharging the capacitor and again maintained for a time \(T>>R C\). The process is repeated one more time by raising the voltage to \(V_{0}\) and the capacitor is charged to the same final voltage \(V_{0}\) as in Process 1.
These two processes are depicted in Figure \(2 .\)

In Process 2, total energy dissipated across the resistance \(E_{D}\) is:JEE Advanced 2017 Medium - A thin rod of mass and length is free to rotate in horizontal plane about a fixed vertical axis passing through point .

- Paragraph:
Modern trains are based on Maglev technology in which trains are magnetically leviated, which runs its EDS Maglev system.
There are coils on both sides of wheels. Due to motion of train, current induces in the coil of track which levitate it. This is in accordance with Lenz's law. If trains lower down then due to Lenz's law a repulsive force increases due to which train gets uplifted and if it goes much high then there is a net downward force disc to gravity. The advantage of Maglev train is that there is no friction between the train and the track, thereby reducing power consumption and enabling the train to attain very high speeds.
Disadvantage of Maglev train is that as it slows down the electromagnetic forces decreases and it becomes difficult to keep it leviated and as it moves forward according to Lenz law, there is an electromagnetic drag force.
