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?

$A$ wire $cd$ of length $l$ and mass $m$ is sliding without friction on conducting rails $ax$ and $by$ as shown. The vertical rails are connected to each other with a resistance $R$ between $a$ and $b$. $A$ uniform magnetic field $B$ is applied perpendicular to the plane $abcd$ such that $cd$ moves with a constant velocity $v$. Find the value of $v$.

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:

$A$ conducting rod $PQ$ of length $1 \ m$ is moving with a uniform speed $2 \ ms^{-1}$ in a uniform magnetic field of $4 \ T$ which is directed into the paper. $A$ capacitor of capacity $10 \ \mu F$ is connected as shown in the figure. Then,the charge on the plates of the capacitor are

$A$ uniform magnetic field exists in a region given by $\vec B = 3\hat i + 4\hat j + 2\hat k \, T$. $A$ conducting rod of length $5\,m$ is placed along the $y$-axis and is moved along the $x$-axis with a constant speed of $1\,m/s$. The $emf$ induced in the rod will be......$V$.
