A thin semicircular conducting ring of radius R is falling with its plane
vertical in a horizontal magnetic induction B. At the position MNQ
the speed of the ring is v and the potential difference developed across the ring is
Bv $ \pi \, R^2 \, / 2$ and M is at higher potential
$\pi$ BRv and Q is at higher potential
2 RBv and Q is at higher potential

The Correct Option isD
Solution and Explanation
Induced motional emf in MNQ is equivalent to the motional
emf in an imaginary wire MQ i.e.
$\hspace15mm$$ e_{ MNQ} = e_{ MQ} = B v l = B v ( 2 R)$$\hspace19mm$ [ t = MQ = 2 R ]
Therefore, potential difference developed across the ring is
2 RBv with Q at higher potential.
Electromagnetic Induction is a current produced by the voltage production due to a changing magnetic field. This happens in one of the two conditions:-
When we place the conductor in a changing magnetic field.
When the conductor constantly moves in a stationary field.
