Correct answer: D

  1. Interpret the geometry

A rod of length ℓ\ellℓ is tied to a string of length 2ℓ2\ell2ℓ, and the free end of the string is fixed.

So the rod rotates in the horizontal plane about the fixed end of the string with angular speed ω\omegaω.

The rod lies along the same radial line as the string, hence:

  • inner end of rod is at distance r1=2ℓr_1 = 2\ellr1​=2ℓ from the axis,
  • outer end of rod is at distance r2=2ℓ+ℓ=3ℓr_2 = 2\ell + \ell = 3\ellr2​=2ℓ+ℓ=3ℓ from the axis.

A uniform magnetic field B⃗\vec BB is vertical, i.e. perpendicular to the plane of rotation.


  1. Use motional emf formula for a rotating rod segment

For a small element of rod at distance rrr from the axis, its speed is v=ωr.v = \omega r.v=ωr.

Since v⃗⊥B⃗\vec v \perp \vec Bv⊥B, the motional electric field magnitude is E=vB=Bωr.E = vB = B\omega r.E=vB=Bωr.

For a small rod element of length drdrdr along the radial direction, the small emf is dE=Bωr dr.d\mathcal{E} = B\omega r\,dr.dE=Bωrdr.

Hence total emf across the rod is E=∫r1r2Bωr dr.\mathcal{E} = \int_{r_1}^{r_2} B\omega r\,dr.E=∫r1​r2​​Bωrdr.

Substitute limits r1=2ℓr_1=2\ellr1​=2ℓ, r2=3ℓr_2=3\ellr2​=3ℓ: E=Bω∫2ℓ3ℓr dr.\mathcal{E} = B\omega \int_{2\ell}^{3\ell} r\,dr.E=Bω∫2ℓ3ℓ​rdr.


  1. Evaluate the integral

E=Bω[r22]2ℓ3ℓ\mathcal{E} = B\omega \left[\frac{r^2}{2}\right]_{2\ell}^{3\ell}E=Bω[2r2​]2ℓ3ℓ​

E=Bω2((3ℓ)2−(2ℓ)2)\mathcal{E} = \frac{B\omega}{2}\left((3\ell)^2 - (2\ell)^2\right)E=2Bω​((3ℓ)2−(2ℓ)2)

E=Bω2(9ℓ2−4ℓ2)\mathcal{E} = \frac{B\omega}{2}(9\ell^2 - 4\ell^2)E=2Bω​(9ℓ2−4ℓ2)

E=5Bωℓ22.\mathcal{E} = \frac{5B\omega \ell^2}{2}.E=25Bωℓ2​.


  1. Match with options

The induced emf is 5Bωℓ22.\boxed{\frac{5B\omega \ell^2}{2}}.25Bωℓ2​​.

This corresponds to Option D.


  1. Comparison with stored correct answer

Stored correct answer: D

Derived answer: D

So they agree.
