A thin semicircular conducting ring PQR of radius r is falling with its plane vertical in a horizontal magnetic field B, as shown in figure. The potential difference developed across the ring when its speed is v, is:
  1. Zero
  2. Bvπr2/2 and P is at higher potential
  3. πrBV and R is at higher potential
  4. 2rBv and R is at higher potential

Solution

Here we have to calculate the emf of the conducting ring when it is falling

So, we have to calculate with the following formulae


emf=VBleq=VB2R

where R is at higher potential and P is at lower potential.
