Uniform but time varying magnetic field B=B0tT is present in the cylindrical region. There is small section at corners which is made with insulating material and other portion of rectangular loop is conducting. Loop is moving with constant velocity v. At t=T situation is as shown in figure . C is centre of cylindrical region. Choose correct option/s at the given instant.

Two identical circular coils M and N are arranged coaxially as shown in the figure. Separation between the coils is large as compared to their radii. The arrangements is viewed from left along the common axis. The sign convention adopted is that currents are taken to be positive when they appear to flow in clockwise direction. Then

A uniform disc of radius R having charge Q distributed uniformly all over its surface is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. A magnetic field, B=kxt2, where k is a constant x is the distance (in metre) from the centre of the disc and t is the time (in second), is switched on perpendicular to the plane of the disc. Find the torque (in N-m) acting on the disc after 15sec. (Take 4kQ=2.50 S.I. unit and R=1m).

Fundamental property of a type of superconducting material is that B=0 everywhere inside it. If a sample of the material is placed into an externally produced magnetic field or is cooled to become superconducting while it is in a magnetic field, electric currents appears on the surface of the sample. The current have precisely the strength and orientation required to make the total magnetic field be zero throughout interior of the sample. Length of solenoid creating field =l, total no. of turns =N, Area of solenoid =A.
