Question
The current generator $I_g$ shown in figure, sends a constant current i through the circuit. The wire cd is fixed and ab is made to slide on the smooth, thick rails with a constant velocity $v$ towards right. Each of these wires has resistance r. Find the current through the wire cd.

Answer



Initial current passing $= i$
Hence initial emf $= ir$
Emf due to motion of ab $= Blv$
Net emf $= ir - Blv$
Net resistance $= 2r$
Hence current passing $=\frac{\text{ir}-\text{Blv}}{2\text{r}}$

Figure shows a light rod of length l rigidly attached to a small heavy block at one end and a hook at the other end. The system is released from rest with the rod in a horizontal position. There is a fixed smooth ring at a depth h below the initial position of the hook and the hook gets into the ring as it reaches there. What should be the minimum value of h so that the block moves in a complete circle about the ring?
