Consider the situation shown in the figure. The wire A B is sliding on the fixed rails with a constant velocity. If the wire A B is replaced by semicircular wire, the magnitude of the induced current will
Options
- Aincrease
- Bremain the same
- Cdecrease
- Dincrease or decrease depending whether the semicircle bulges towards the resistance or away from it
Correct answer
B. remain the same
Step-by-step solution
Magnitude of induced current in the wire A B is given as I= B v l R Here, aligned & =90^ & I= B v l R aligned When wire A B is replaced by semicircular wire, then neither l nor are changed. B, v and R are already constant. Hence, induced current will remains same.
