A long straight wire carries a current, ampere. A semi-circular conducting rod is placed beside it on two conducting parallel rails of negligible resistance. Both the rails are parallel to the wire. The wire, the rod and the rails lie in the same horizontal plane, as shown in the figure. Two ends of the semi-circular rod are at distances and from the wire. At time , the rod starts moving on the rails with a speed (see the figure).
A resistor and a capacitor are connected in series between the rails. At time , is uncharged. Which of the following statement(s) is (are) correct? [ SI units. Take ]

Consider the situation given in figure. The wire slides on the fixed rails with a constant velocity. If the wire is replaced by a semicircular wire, the magnitude of the induced current will:

Consider the situation shown in figure. The wire AB is slid on the fixed rails with a constant velocity. If the wire AB is replaced by a semicircular wire, then the induced current magnitude will

A thin flexible wire of length is connected to two adjacent fixed points and carries a current in the clockwise direction, as shown in the figure. When the system is put in a uniform magnetic field of strength going into the plane of the paper, the wire takes the shape of a circle. The tension in the wire is

A circular copper-ring of radius translates in its plane with a constant velocity . A uniform magnetic field exists in the space in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the ring. Consider different pairs of diametrically opposite points on the ring.
