Consider the situation given in the figure. The wire $AB$ is slid on the fixed rails with a constant velocity $v$. If the wire $AB$ is replaced by a semicircular wire of the same length,the magnitude of the induced current will:

  • A
    decrease
  • B
    increase
  • C
    increase or decrease depending on whether the semicircle bulges towards the resistance or away from it
  • D
    remain same
