In a thin rectangular metallic strip a constant current I flows along the positive x-direction , as shown in the figure. The length , width and thickness of the strip are l, w and d , respectively. A uniform magnetic field vec(B) is applied on the strip along the positive y- direction . Due to this, the charge carriers experience a net deflection along the z- direction . This results in accumulation of charge carriers on the surface PQRS ansd apperance of equal and opposite charges on the face opposite to PQRS . A potential difference along the z-direction is thus developed. Charge accumulation contiues untill the magnetic force is balanced by the electric force. The current is assumed to be uniformly distributed on the cross- section of the strip and carried by electrons. Consider two different metallic strips (1 and 2) of the same material . Their lengths are the same,widths are w_(1) and w_(2) and thickness are d_(1) and d_(2) respectively. Two points K and M are symmetrically located on the opposite faces parallel to the x-y plane ( see figure) . V_(1) and V_(2) are the potential differences between K and M in strips 1 and 2 , respectively . Then, for a given current I flowing through them in a given magnetic field strength B , the correct statement(s) is (are)

In the figure B_(1) , B_(2) and B_(3) represent uniform time varying magnetic fields in three different infinitely long cylindrical regions with axis passing through P , Q and R and perpendicular to the plane of the paper. PQR is an equilateral triangle of side 4sqrt(3)r , where r is radius of each cylindrical region (r=1m) . The magnetic inductions vary with time t as B_(1)=A+at , B_(2)=A-bt and B_(3)=A+ct . Here a=2 Tesla//s , b=2 Tesla//s and c=1 Tesla//s and A is a constant with dimensions of magnetic field and 't' is time. Find the induced electric field strength at the centroid of the triangle PQR .

When a current through the medium, an electric field exists as well as a potential which varies in space. Suppose that there is a break in a high - voltage transmission line and the free end of a wire of length L is lying on the ground. An electric current flows through the regions of soil adjoining the conductor. If a man happens to be walking near by a potential difference, which is called the step voltage appears between the points where his feet touch the ground, Consequently, an electric current whose strength depends on this potential difference flows through the man. Let us calculate the step voltage. Since the conductor is quite long, we assume that the current flows from it to the ground in a direction perpendicular to the conductor. The equipotential surfaces are the surfaces of semi-cylinders whose axes coincide with the conductor. Suppose that the man is walking in a direction perpendicular to the conductor with a step of length 'b' the distance between the conductor and the foot closer to it being d. Assuming that the current flows uniformly from the conductor over the semi cylindrical region we obtain the following expression for the current density at a distance from the conductor: j=i/(pirL) In this case , the field strength along the radii perpendicular to the conductor is E_r=j/sigma=l/(pirLsigma) Consequently , the step voltage is V_(st)=int_d^(d+b) Edr =1/(pisigmaL)ln((d+b)/d) For example , If l=500A , d=1 m , b=65 cm and L=30 m we find that V_(st) =270 V. Much higher voltages may appear under other conditions and other shapes of conductors. When a part of a high- voltage transmission line falls on the ground, it creates a hazard
