A horizontal straight metallic rod of length 4 m is held at some height above the surface of Earth, in east-west direction. If it is allowed to fall from rest, find the : (a) emf induced in the rod 2 s after it starts falling, (b) polarity of the emf induced, and (c) the end of the rod which is at the higher potential. The horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field at the place is 0·3 × 10⁻⁴ Wb/m² and take g = 10 m/s².
The figure shows a rectangular conductor PQRS in which the arm PQ of length 10 cm and resistance 0.4 Ω is free to move. It is kept in a uniform magnetic field B = 0.2 T acting perpendicular into the plane of PQRS. If arm PQ is moved with a velocity v of 5 cm/s as shown, find : (a) the current induced in the loop, and (b) the power required to move the arm. (Resistances of arms PS, SR and RQ are negligible.)
