A thin conducting rod of mass , length and resistance is held on frictionless, long, perfectly conducting vertical rails as shown in the figure. There is a uniform magnetic field directed perpendicular to the plane of the rod-rail arrangement. The rod is released from rest at time and it moves down along the rails. Assume air drag is negligible. Match each quantity in List- with an appropriate value from List-, and choose the correct option.
[Given: The acceleration due to gravity and ]
List- | List- | ||
At , the magnitude of the induced emf in Volt | |||

Induced emf
Induced current
Direction of induced current would be from .
Now magnetic force acting on the rod due to this current would be in the upward direction. Therefore, we can write
[Applying law]
Now, , and
Therefore,
At
volts
Then, current at will be
and magnetic force
and power dissipated
also for maximum velocity(terminal velocity) and hence
Correct match is (D)
