Question

A vertical conducting ring of radius R falls vertically with a speed V in a horizontal uniform magnetic field B which is perpendicular to the plane of the ring :

Options

A.A and B are at same potential
B.C and D are at same potential
C.current flows in clockwise direction   
D.current flows in anticlockwise direction

Solution

When the ring falls vertically, there will be an induced emf across A & B (e = Bv (2R)). 
Note that there will be a potential difference across any two points on the ring, line joining whom has a projected length in the horizontal plane.
For example, between points ′P′ & ′Q′ there is a projected length ′x′ in the horizontal plane.
∴     P.d. across P & Q is :
V = B v x.

But for points C and D :         x = 0.    
Therefore;     P.d. = 0.
