- AThe rod becomes electrically charged.
- ✓The end $A$ becomes positively charged.
- CThe end $B$ becomes positively charged.
- DThe rod becomes hot because of Joule heating.
Answer
View full question & answer→Correct option: B.
The end $A$ becomes positively charged.
The end $'A\ '$ becomes, positively charged.
Because magnetic field exerts an average Force $\overrightarrow{\text{F}}_0=\text{q}\vec{\text{v}}\times\vec{\text{B} } n$ each free electron
where $q = 1. 6 \times 10^{19} C$ is the charge on the electron.
This Force is towards $AB$ and hence the free electrons will move towareds $B$.
Negative charge is accumulated at $'B\ '$ and positive charge appears at $A.$
