MCQ 11 Mark
A rod $AB$ moves with a uniform velocity $v$ in a uniform magnetic field as shown in figure.
  • A
    The rod becomes electrically charged.
  • The end $A$ becomes positively charged.
  • C
    The end $B$ becomes positively charged.
  • D
    The rod becomes hot because of Joule heating.
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 $A.$

MCQ 61 Mark
A small, conducting circular loop is placed inside a long solenoid carrying a current. The plane of the loop contains the axis of the solenoid. If the current in the solenoid is varied, the current induced in the loop is:
  • A
    Clockwise.
  • B
    Anticlockwise.
  • Zero.
  • D
    Clockwise or anticlockwise depending on whether the resistance in increased or decreased.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Zero.
The angle between magnetic field and area vector is $90^\circ$ , so the flux associated with coil is zero. Although magnetic field is changing but flux is remaining constant equal to zero, so emf induced and hence current in the loop is equal to zero.

Figure shows a horizontal solenoid connected to a battery and a switch. A copper ring is placed on a frictionless track, the axis of the ring being along the axis of the solenoid. As the switch is closed, the ring will:
  • A
    Remain stationary.
  • B
    Move towards the solenoid.
  • Move away from the solenoid.
  • D
    Move towards the solenoid or away from it depending on which terminal (positive or negative) of the battery is connected to the left end of the solenoid.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Move away from the solenoid.

$\text{e}=-\text{L}\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}$
Current flow in the CKt is clock wise direction, due to Mutual Induction current flow in the loop anti clockwise direction. The net force applied on the loop in east direction. So we can say that the ring will move away from the solenoid.

  • B
    Repel each other.
  • C
    Do not exert any force on each other.
  • D
    Attract or repel each other depending on the sense of the current.
