A metal coil of area A, number of turns n, mass m and resistance r is lying in a horizontal plane. A uniform time varying magnetic field is set-up to pass vertically through the coil at time t=0. The field is first increased from 0 to B0 at a constant rate in time t0 and then decreased from B0 to zero in the same time t0. If the cycle is repeated continuously, then the correct graph(s) representing the variation of current and power dissipated with time (t) is/are
