A conducting wire of parabolic shape, initially $y=x^2$, is moving with velocity $\overrightarrow{ V }= V _0 \hat{ i }$ in a nonuniform magnetic field $\vec{B}=B_0\left(1+\left(\frac{y}{L}\right)^\beta\right) \hat{k}$, as shown in figure. If $V_0, B_0, L$ and $\beta$ are positive constants and $\Delta \phi$ is the potential difference developed between the ends of the wire, then the correct statement(s) is/are:

$(1)$ $|\Delta \phi|$ remains the same if the parabolic wire is replaced by a straight wire, $y=x$ initially, of length $\sqrt{2} L$

$(2)$ $|\Delta \phi|$ is proportional to the length of the wire projected on the $y$-axis.
