Which of the following schematic plot(s) is(are) correct ? (Ignore gravity)

A rod of length slides with a speed of on a rectangular conducting frame as shown in figure. There exists a uniform magnetic field of perpendicular to the plane of the figure. If the resistance of the rod is . The current through the rod is




A copper ring having a cut such that it does not form a complete loop is held horizontally and a bar magnet is dropped through the ring with its length along the axis of the ring. Then acceleration of the falling magnet is



A thin strip long is on a shaped wire of negligible resistance and it is connected to a spring of spring constant (see figure). The assembly is kept in a uniform magnetic field of If the strip is pulled from its equilibrium position and released, the number of oscillations it performs before its amplitude decreases by a factor of is . If the mass of the strip is grams, its resistance and air drag negligible, will be close to:






A long thin metal bar of negligible resistance weighing rests on two metal supports as shown in the figure. The supports are connected in series to an ideal cell and a resistance. A uniform magnetic field is applied in the region normal to the plane of the paper and into the paper. Maximum emf that the cell can have without breaking the circuit in volt is
(Acceleration due to gravity )




An infinitely long straight wire carrying current , one side opened rectangular loop and a conductor with a sliding connector are located in the same plane, as shown in the figure. The connector has length and resistance . It slides to the right with a velocity . The resistance of the conductor and the self-inductance of the loop are negligible. The induced current in the loop, as a function of separation , between the connector and the straight wire is:
