A long straight wire carries a current, I = 2 ampere. A semi-circular conducting rod is placed beside it on two conducting parallel rails of negligible resistance. Both the rails are parallel to the wire. The wire, the rod and the rails lie in the same horizontal plane, as shown in the figure. Two ends of the semi-circular rod are at distances 1 cm and 4 cm from the wire. At time t = 0, the rod starts moving on the rails with a speed v = 3.0 m/s (see the figure)
A resistor R = 1.4
and a capacitor C 0 = 5.0
F are connected in series between the rails. At time t = 0, C 0 is uncharged. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct? [
SI units. Take
n2 = 0.7]

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsCHECK THE SOLUTION.
(a, c)
Emf induced across the semi-circular conducting rod.

Since the semi-circular conducting rod is moving with a constant speed v = 3 m/s, then
= constant
Maximum current through the resistor R is
ampere.
Maximum charge on the capacitor C 0 is
coulomb.
