Figure shows a metal rod PQ resting on the rails AB and positioned between the poles of a permanent magnet. The rails, the rod and the magnetic field are in three mutual perpendicular directions. A galvanometer G connects the rails through a switch K. Length of the rod = 15 cm, B = 0.50 T, resistance of the closed loop containing the rod = 180.0 $m\Omega$. Assume the field to be uniform. |
The induced emf produced in the moving rod if the magnetic field becomes parallel to the rails instead of being perpendicular will be: |
$3 \times 10^{-3} V$ $6 \times 10^{-3} V$ $9 \times 10^{-3} V$ Zero |
Zero |
The correct answer is Option (4) → Zero |
