Consider the situation shown in the figure. The wire AB is sliding on the fixed rails with a constant velocity. If the wire AB is replaced by semi‐circular wire, the magnitude of the induced current will:

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
As we have to consider the length perpendicular to velocity vector and magnetic field vector independent of shape and length of wire, the perpendicular length between two wires is constant hence value of induced current will remain constant.
