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-I with an appropriate value from List-II, and choose the correct option.

Correct answer: D
- Set up the equation of motion
When the rod moves downward with speed , the induced emf is
where
So current in the circuit is
Magnetic force on the rod is upward:
Equation of motion downward:
This is of the form
Its solution is
where terminal velocity
and time constant
- Compute terminal velocity
First,
Hence
So
- Compute time constant
Thus at s,
So
- Find induced emf at s
Since ,
So
- Find magnetic force at s
Current:
Then magnetic force:
Again , so
So
- Find power dissipated as heat at s
Thus approximately
So
- Final matching
We get:
This corresponds to Option D.
