$A$ copper rod of mass $m$ slides under gravity on two smooth parallel rails,with separation $l$ and set at an angle of $\theta$ with the horizontal. At the bottom,the rails are joined by a resistance $R$. There is a uniform magnetic field $B$ normal to the plane of the rails,as shown in the figure. The terminal speed of the copper rod is

  • A
    $\frac{{mgR\cos \theta }}{{{B^2}{l^2}}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{mgR\sin \theta }}{{{B^2}{l^2}}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{mgR\tan \theta }}{{{B^2}{l^2}}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{mgR\cot \theta }}{{{B^2}{l^2}}}$

The figure shows a metal rod $PQ$ resting on the smooth rails $AB$ and positioned between the poles of a permanent magnet. The rails,the rod,and the magnetic field are in three mutually perpendicular directions. $A$ galvanometer $G$ connects the rails through a switch $K$. Length of the rod $= 15 \; cm$,$B = 0.50 \; T$,resistance of the closed loop containing the rod $= 9.0 \; m\Omega$. Assume the field to be uniform.
$(a)$ Suppose $K$ is open and the rod is moved with a speed of $12 \; cm \; s^{-1}$ in the direction shown. Give the polarity and magnitude of the induced $emf$.
$(b)$ Is there an excess charge built up at the ends of the rod when $K$ is open? What if $K$ is closed?
$(c)$ With $K$ open and the rod moving uniformly,there is no net force on the electrons in the rod $PQ$ even though they do experience magnetic force due to the motion of the rod. Explain.
$(d)$ What is the retarding force on the rod when $K$ is closed?
$(e)$ How much power is required (by an external agent) to keep the rod moving at the same speed $(= 12 \; cm \; s^{-1})$ when $K$ is closed? How much power is required when $K$ is open?
$(f)$ How much power is dissipated as heat in the closed circuit? What is the source of this power?
$(g)$ What is the induced $emf$ in the moving rod if the magnetic field is parallel to the rails instead of being perpendicular?
