Figure shows a circular wheel of radius $10.0\ cm$ whose upper half, shown dark in the figure, is made of iron and the lower half of wood. The two junctions are joined by an iron rod. A uniform magnetic field $B$ of magnitude $2.00 \times 10^{-4} T$ exists in the space above the central line as suggested by the figure. The wheel is set into pure rolling on the horizontal surface. If it takes $2.00$ seconds for the iron part to come down and the wooden part to go up, find the average emf induced during this period.

Two bar magnets are placed close to each other with their opposite poles facing each other. In absence of other force the magnets are pulled towards each other and their kinetic energy increases. Does it contradict our earher knowledge that magnetic forces cannot do any work and hence cannot increase kinetic energy of a system?
