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.

What is the force acting on the charges present in the rod ?

Options:

kq2/r2

qlB

qE

qvB

Correct Answer:

qvB

Explanation:

Lorentz Force acts on the charges.

F = qvB
