Figure shows a circular wheel of radius 10.0cm 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.

Consider a variation of the previous problem (figure). Suppose the circular loop lies in a vertical plane. The rod has a mass m.

Figure shows a situation similar to the previous problem. All parameters are the same except that a battery of emf $\in$ and a variable resistance R are connected between O and C.
