KCET2019PhysicsElectromagnetic Induction
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
Options
- Adecrease
- Bincrease
- Cincrease or decrease depending on whether the semicircle bulges towards the resistance or away from it
- Dremain same
Correct answer
D. remain same
Step-by-step solution
(D) The induced emf e ( =l( v B )=I(v B )=B v ) Induced current, ( i = e R ) If the straight wire is replaced by a semicircular wire, resistance ( R ) remains unchanged. Hence, current remains same.
