As shown in figure, two vertical conducting rails separated by distance are placed parallel to -axis. At , a capacitor of is connected between the rails and a metal rod of mass placed across the rails slides down along the rails. If a constant magnetic fields of exists perpendicular to the plane of the rails, what is the acceleration of the rod?
(Take )

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Due to motion of rod, emf induced across capacitor, Charge stored in capacitor,
Force opposing the downward motion,
Net force on rod,
or \quad a=\frac{0.1 \times 9.8}{\left(0.1+2^2 \times 1^2 \times 0.15\right)}=1.4 \mathrm{ m} / $$\mathrm{s}^2
