Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 465

Question: A sliding wire of length 0.25 m and having a resistance of 0.5Ω moves along conducting guiding rails AB and CD with a uniform speed of 4 m/s. A magnetic field of 0.5 T exists normal to the plane of ABCD directed into the page. The guides are short -circuited with resistances of 4 and 2,Ω as shown. The current through the sliding wire is:

Options:

A) 0.27 A

B) 0.37 A

C) 1.0 A

D) 0.72A

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • The induced emf across the sliding wire

    e=Bv=0.5×4×0.25=0.5,V

    The effective circuit is .

    The equivalent resistance of the circuit

    r=4×24+2+0.5=1.83Ω

    Now, i=VR=0.51.83=0.27,A
