Case : Read the passage and answer the question(s).

Let us consider a straight conductor moving in a uniform and time-independent magnetic field. Figure shows a rectangular conductor PQRS in which the conductor PQ is free to move. The rod PQ is moved towards the left with a constant velocity v as shown in the figure. PQRS forms a closed circuit enclosing an area that changes as PQ moves. The length RQ = x and RS = l and the magnetic flux is ΦB enclosed by the loop PQRS.

A charge q is present at the center of the rod PQ. Another charge q' is present at the end P of the rod PQ. What is the relation of force experienced by them?

Options:

Force on q is twice that on q'

Force on q' is twice that on q

Force depends upon charges q and q'

Force on q is same as that on q'

Correct Answer:

Force on q is same as that on q'

Explanation:

All the charges on PQ experience same force in magnitude and direction. F = qvB
