Question:

A conducting rod AB moves parallel to X-axis in a uniform magnetic field, pointing in the positive X-direction. The end A of the rod gets

Options:

positively charged

           

negatively charged

neutral

first positively charged and then negativity charged

Correct Answer:

positively charged

           

Explanation:

According to right hand palm rule, the Lorentz force on free electrons $\vec{F} = q\vec{V} \times \vec{B}$ in the conductor will be directed towards end B. Hence, the end A gets positively charge.
