    As shown in the figure a metal rod makes contact and complete the circuit. The circuit is perpendicular to the magnetic field with \[B=0.15\,tesla.\] If the resistance is \[3\,\Omega \], force needed to move the rod as indicated with a constant speed of \[2m/sec\] is                                                               [MP PET 1994]

    A)            \[3.75\times {{10}^{-3}}\]N   

    B)            \[3.75\times {{10}^{-2}}\,N\]

    C)            \[3.75\times {{10}^{2}}\,N\] 

    D)            \[3.75\times {{10}^{-4}}N\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       Induced current in the circuit \[i=\frac{Bvl}{R}\] Magnetic force acting on the wire \[{{F}_{m}}=Bil=B\left( \frac{Bvl}{R} \right)\ l\] \[\Rightarrow {{F}_{m}}=\frac{{{B}^{2}}v{{l}^{2}}}{R}\] External force needed to move the rod with constant velocity       \[({{F}_{m}})=\frac{{{B}^{2}}v{{l}^{2}}}{R}=\frac{{{(0.15)}^{2}}\times (2)\times {{(0.5)}^{2}}}{3}\]\[=3.75\times {{10}^{-3}}N\]
