Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 404

Question: A thin semicircular conducting ring of radius R is fallin with its plane vertical in a horizontal magnetic induction B. At the position MNQ, the speed of the ring is v and the potential difference developed across the ring is

Options:

A) Zero

B) BvπR2/2 and M is at higher potential

C) πRBv and Q is at higher potential

D) 2RBv and Q is at higher potential

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • Rate of decrease of area of the semicircular ring

    dAdt=(2R)v

    According to Faraday’s law of induction induced emf

    e=dφdt=BdAdt=B(2Rv)

    The induced current in the ring must generate magnetic field in the upward direction.

    Thus Q is at higher potential
