Consider a rod of length l moving at speed v in an external magnetic field B, inducing an emf ε. The moving rod is placed on a fixed conductive rail with resistance R. If the magnetic field is divided by 2, the external force that will be required to maintain the speed of the rod constant will:
be divided by 3
increase by a factor of 3
remain constant
increase by a factor of 9
be divided by 9
Due to induced motional emf there will an induced current which will flow through the resistance circuit.
Due to resistance power will be dissipated which is equal to =
To maintain the velocity of rod an external force is required which has power equal to the dissipated power
If B = B/2 then
F will we divided by 4 i.e. F will be decreased by 4 times
