  • $V_{A}-V_{O}=\frac{B \omega l^{2}}{2}$
  • $V_{O}-V_{C}=\frac{9}{2} B \omega l^{2}$
  • $V_{A}-V_{C}=4 B \omega l^{2}$
  • $V_{C}-V_{O}=\frac{9}{2} B \omega l^{2}$

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Given, length of rod $=4 l$; magnetic field $=B$ If $\omega=$ angular velocity $ \omega=\frac{v}{l} \quad(v=v e l o c i t y) . $ Now, small emf (d ) due to small element de is: $d \epsilon=B vdl =B wl d l$ On integrating it upto length ' $l$ ' of rod, the emf $(epsilon)$ will be: $\varepsilon=B \omega \int_{0}^{l} l d l$ $\varepsilon=\frac{B \omega l^{2}}{2}=$ potential difference b/w $A \& 0$. Thus, $ V_{A}-V_{0}=\frac{B \omega l^{2}}{2} $

Magnetism & Matter

Magnets are used in many devices like electric bells, telephones, radio, loudspeakers, motors, fans, screwdrivers, lifting heavy iron loads, super-fast trains, especially in foreign countries, refrigerators, etc.

Magnetite is the world’s first magnet. This is also called a natural magnet.  Though magnets occur naturally, we can also impart magnetic properties to a substance. It would be an artificial magnet in that case.

Some of the properties of the magnetic field lines are:

  • The lines and continuous and outside the magnet, the field lines originate from the North pole and terminate at the South pole
  • They form closed loops traversing inside the magnet. 
  • But here the lines seem to originate from the South pole and terminate at the North pole to form closed loops.
  • More number of close lines indicate a stronger magnetic field
  • The lines do not intersect each other
  • The tangent drawn at the field line gives the direction of the field at that point.
