The radius of the circular conducting loop shown in figure is $R$. Magnetic field is decreasing at a constant rate $\alpha$. Resistance per unit length of the loop is $\rho$. Then current in wire $A B$ is ( $A B$ is one of the diameters) Figure

  • A
    $\frac{R \alpha}{2 \rho}$ from $B$ to $A$
  • B
    $\frac{R \alpha}{2 \rho}$ from $A$ to $B$
  • C
    $\frac{2 R \alpha}{\rho}$ from $A$ to $B$
  • Correct answer
    D
    zero

Solution

As per Lenz's law, e.m.fs of the same magnitude are induced in the two loops in the clockwise direction. Thus current is induced

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
