Q.

A metallic square loop ABCD is moving in its own plane with velocity v in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to its plane as shown in the figure. An electric field is induced     [2001]

1 in AD, but not in BC  
2 in BC, but not in AD  
3 neither in AD nor in BC  
4 in both AD and BC  

Ans.

(4)

Electric field will be induced, as ABCD moves, in both AD and BC. The metallic square loop moves in its own plane with velocity v in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the square loop. AD and BC are perpendicular to the velocity as well as perpendicular to the applied magnetic field.
