Question

An infinitely long straight wire carrying current I, one side opened rectangular loop and a conductor C with a sliding connector are located in the same plane, as shown in the figure. The connector has length l. and resistance R . It slides to the right with a velocity v . The resistance of the conductor and the self inductance of the loop are negligible. The induced current in the loop, as a function of separation r, between the connector and the straight wire is, μ 0 4 π Iv ℓ Rr, μ 0 π Iv ℓ Rr, 2 μ 0 π Iv ℓ Rr, μ 0 2 π Iv ℓ Rr

The induced current in the wire will be due to the motional EMF developed in the moving resistor and that back emf developed at that point will be equal to V B L V = velocity of the conductor B = perpendicular magnetic field L = length of conductor We know magnetic field due to a long wire is B = μ 0 i 2 π r Hence the induced current across wire will be : I = e R I = μ 0 2 π Iv ℓ Rr
