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

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) remain same

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(D)
The induced emf e \( =l(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})=I(v B \sin \theta)=B v \mid \)
Induced current, \( \mathrm{i}=\frac{e}{R} \)
If the straight wire is replaced by a semicircular wire, resistance \( R \) remains unchanged.
Hence, current remains same.
