Figure shows a metal rod PQ resting on the smooth rails AB and positioned between the poles of a permanent magnet. The rails, the rod and the magnetic field are in three mutually perpendicular directions. A galvonometer G connects the rails through a switch K. Length of rod = 15 cm, B = 0.50 T, resistance of the closed loop containing the rod = 9.0mOmega . Assume the field to be uniform. a. Suppose K is open and the rod is moved with a speed of 12cms^(-1) in the direction shown. Give the polarity and magnitude of the induced emf. b. Is there an excess charge built up at the ends of the rods when K is open? What if K is closed? c. With K open and the rod moving uniformly, there is no net force on the electrons in the rod PQ eventhough they do experience magnetic force due to the motion of the rod. Explain. d. What is the retarding force on the rod when K is closed? e. How much power is required (by an external agent) to keep the rod moving at the same speed (=12cms^(-1)) when K is closed? How much power is required when K is open? f. How much power is dissipated as heat in the closed circuit? What is the source of this power? g. What is the induced emf in the moving rod if the magnetic field is parallel to the rails instead of being perpendicular?

Figure shows water in a container having 2.0-mm thick walls made of a material of thermal conductivity 0.50Wm^(-1)C^(-1) . The container is kept in a melting-ice bath at 0^(@)C . The total surface area in contact with water is 0.05m^(2) . A wheel is clamped inside the water and is coupled to a block of mass M as shown in the figure. As the goes down, the wheel rotates. It is found that after some time a steady state is reached in which the block goes down with a constant speed of 10cms^(-1) and the temperature of the water remains constant at 1.0^(@)C .Find the mass M of the block. Assume that the heat flow out of the water only through the walls in contact. Take g=10ms^(-2) .
