Question

A conducting rod of length is moved at constant velocity ′v0′ on two parallel, conducting, smooth, fixed rails, that are placed in a uniform constant magnetic field B perpendicular to the plane of the rails as shown in figure. A resistance R is connected between the two ends of the rail. Then which of the following is/are correct :

Options

A.The thermal power dissipated in the resistor is equal to rate of work done by external person pulling the rod.
B.If applied external force is doubled than a part of external power increases the velocity of rod.
C.Lenz′s Law is not satisfied if the rod is accelerated by external force
D.If resistance R is doubled then power required to maintain the constant velocity v0 becomes half.

Solution

Rate of work done by external agent is :
= = BILv & thermal power dissipated in the resistor = eI = (BvL) I
clearly both are equal, hence (A) .
If applied external force is doubled, the rod will experience a net force and hence acceleration. As a result velocity increases, hence (B)
Since ; I =
On doubling ′R′, current and hence required power becomes half.
Since, P = BILv
Hence (D).
