B Correct answer
Explanation

Magnetic induction on the equatorial line is proportional to 1/r^3. B1 / B2 = (r2 / r1)^3. (54 * 10^-6) / B2 = (0.3 / 0.2)^3 = (1.5)^3 = 3.375. B2 = (54 * 10^-6) / 3.375 = 16 * 10^-6 = 1.6 * 10^-5 T.

Explanation

The induced emf in a rod moving in a magnetic field is given by the integral of (v x B) dot dl. For a wire carrying current I, the magnetic field at distance r is B = (mu_0 * I) / (2 * pi * r). Integrating this from r1 to r2 yields the formula in option B.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Magnetic induction B is given by B = mu * H, where mu is the permeability and H is the intensity of the magnetising field. Given mu = 3 * 10^-3 and H = 120 A/m, B = (3 * 10^-3) * 120 = 0.36 Wb/m^2.

Faraday's law states emf = -d(phi)/dt. The magnetic flux phi = B * A = (B_0 + alpha * t) * (pi * r^2). Differentiating with respect to time gives emf = -pi * r^2 * alpha.

In the figure magnetic points into the plane of paper and the rod of length $l$ is moving in the field such that the bottom most point has a velocity $v _1$ and the topmost point has the velocity $V _2(V _2>V _1)$ The emf induced is given by 

  1. $Bv _1l$

  3. $\cfrac 1 2 B(v _2+v _1)l$
  4. $\cfrac 1 2 B(v _2-v _1)l$

C Correct answer
Explanation
Velocity of a point at a distance $x$ from the bottom is given by,

$v=v _1+(\dfrac{v _1-v _2}{l})x$

Potential difference on a small length at this distance is $e=Bx(dx)$

Therefore,

Total potential difference, $e=\int^l _0 Bvdx$

$e=\int^l _0 B(v _1+\dfrac{(v _2-v _1)x}{l})dx$

$=\dfrac{B(v _1+v _2)l}{2}$

Explanation

The induced emf is given by E = (v x B) dot L. Here, v = 1 * i (m/s), B = 3i + 4j + 5k (T), and L = 5 * j (m). The cross product v x B = (1 * i) x (3i + 4j + 5k) = 4k - 5j. Then E = (4k - 5j) dot (5j) = -25V. The magnitude is 25V.
