Consider a thin metallic sheet perpendicular to the plane of the paper moving with speed $v$ in a uniform magnetic field $B$ directed into the plane of the paper (See figure). If charge densities $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ are induced on the left and right surfaces,respectively,of the sheet,then (ignore fringe effects):

  • A
    $\sigma_1 = \frac{-\epsilon_0 vB}{2}, \sigma_2 = \frac{\epsilon_0 vB}{2}$
  • B
    $\sigma_1 = \epsilon_0 vB, \sigma_2 = -\epsilon_0 vB$
  • C
    $\sigma_1 = \frac{\epsilon_0 vB}{2}, \sigma_2 = \frac{-\epsilon_0 vB}{2}$
  • D
    $\sigma_1 = \sigma_2 = \epsilon_0 vB$

The figure shows an apparatus suggested by Faraday to generate electric current from a flowing river. Two identical conducting plates of length $a$ and width $b$ are placed parallel facing one another on opposite sides of the river flowing with velocity $u$ at a distance $d$ apart. Now both the plates are connected by a load resistance $R$. Then the current through the load $R$ is: (Consider the vertical component of the magnetic field produced by the earth is $B_v$ and the resistivity of river water is $\rho$.)

An infinitely long straight wire carrying current $I$,an open rectangular loop,and a conductor $C$ with a sliding connector are located in the same plane,as shown in the figure. The connector has length $l$ and resistance $R$. It slides to the right with a velocity $v$. The resistance of the conductor and the self-inductance of the loop are negligible. The induced current in the loop,as a function of separation $r$ between the connector and the straight wire,is:

$A$ horizontal wire is free to slide on the vertical rails of a conducting frame as shown in the figure. The wire has a mass $m$ and length $l$,and the resistance of the circuit is $R$. If a uniform magnetic field $B$ is directed perpendicular to the frame,find the terminal speed of the wire as it falls under the force of gravity.
