A conducting bar of length LL is free to slide on two parallel conducting rails as shown in the figure

A conducting bar of length L is free to slide on two parallel conducting rails as shown in the figure Two resistors R _

Two resistors R1{R}_{1} and R2{R}_{2} are connected across the ends of the rails. There is a uniform magnetic field B→\overset{\to}{B} pointing into the page. An external agent pulls the bar to the left at a constant speed vv.

The correct statement about the directions of induced currents I1{I}_{1} and I2{I}_{2} flowing through R1{R}_{1} and R2{R}_{2} respectively is :

Options

  1. ABoth I1{I}_{1} and I2{I}_{2} are in anticlockwise direction
  2. BBoth I1{I}_{1} and I2{I}_{2} are in clockwise direction
  3. CI1{I}_{1} is in clockwise direction and I2{I}_{2} is in anticlockwise direction
  4. DI1{I}_{1} is in anticlockwise direction and I2{I}_{2} is in clockwise direction

Correct answer

C. I1{I}_{1} is in clockwise direction and I2{I}_{2} is in anticlockwise direction

Step-by-step solution

Given, the external agent pulls the bar towards left. According to Lenz's law and Fleming's right hand rule, there will be a motional EMF generated in the bar. The right-hand rule tells us that the magnetic force on positive charges will be in downward direction and the electric equivalent circuit can be drawn as shown below.

A conducting bar of length L is free to slide on two parallel conducting rails as shown in the figure Two resistors R _

So, I1{I}_{1} is in the clockwise direction and I2{I}_{2} is in the anticlockwise direction.
