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 $\rho$.)

  • A
    $\frac{B_v ub}{R}$
  • B
    $\frac{B_v ud}{R + \frac{\rho d}{ab}}$
  • C
    $\frac{B_v ud}{R + \frac{\rho d}{ab}}$
  • D
    None

$A$ rod of length $l$,mass $m$,and resistance $R$ slides without friction down parallel conducting rails as shown in the figure. The rails are connected together at the bottom. The plane of the rails makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal and a uniform vertical magnetic field $B$ exists throughout the region. Then the induced $emf$ in the loop,at the time the rod slides down with a speed $v$,is
