Important Questions on Moving Charges and Magnetism





In a thin rectangular metallic strip a constant current I flows along the positive x - direction, as shown in the figure. The length, width and thickness of the strip are l, w and d, respectively. A uniform magnetic field is applied on the strip along positive y - direction. Due to this the charge carries experience a net deflection along the z-direction. This results in accumulation of charge carriers on the surface PQRS and appearance of equal opposite charges on the face opposite to PQRS. A potential difference along the z - direction is thus developed. Charge accumulation continues until the magnetic force is balanced by the electric force. The current is assumed to be uniformly distributed on the cross section of the strip and carried by electrons.
Consider two different metallic strips (1 and 2) of the same material. Their lengths are the same, widths are and and thicknesses are and , respectively. Two points and are symmetrically located on the opposite faces parallel to the - plane (see figure). and are the potential differences between and in strips 1 and 2 respectively. Then, for a given current flowing through them in a given magnetic field strength , the correct statement(s) is (are)
