Question
A uniform rod is kept vertically on a horizontal smooth surface at a point O. If it is rotated slightly and released, it falls down on the horizontal surface. The lower end will remain:
  1. At O.
  2. At a distance less than $\frac{\text{l}}2{}$ from O.
  3. At a distance $\frac{\text{l}}2{}$ from O.
  4. At a distance larger than $\frac{\text{l}}2{}$ from O.

Answer

  1. At a distance $\frac{\text{l}}2{}$ from O.
Explanation:
It is given that there is no force along x-axis.
COM of rod will remain and will not shift along x-axis (horizontal direction).
Force gravity is acting along y-axis (vertical direction). So, COM will shift along the y-axis by $\frac{\text{l}}2{}$ distance and COM of horizontal rod is at a distance $\frac{\text{l}}2{}$ from one end.
Therefore, lower end of the rod will remain at a distance $\frac{\text{l}}2{}$ from O.

An infinitely long conductor $\text{PQR}$ is bent to form a right angle as shown. A current $I$ flows through $\text{PQR}$ The magnetic field due to this current at the point $M$ is $\mathrm{H}_1$. Now another infinitely long straight conductor $QS$ is connected at $Q$ so that the current is $\mathrm{I} / 2$ in $QR$ as well as in $QS ,$ The current in $PQ$ remaining unchanged. The magnetic field at $M$ is now $\mathrm{H}_2$. The ratio $\mathrm{H}_1 / \mathrm{H}_2$ is given by
