An infinitely long, straight wire carrying current I, one side opened rectangular loop and a conductor C with a sliding connector are located in the same plane, as shown, in the figure. The connector has length and resistance R. It slides to the right with a velocity v. The resistance of the conductor and the self inductance of the loop are negligible. The induced current in the loop, as a function of separation r, between the connector and the straight wire is :

Correct answer: C
- Magnetic field due to the long straight wire
At a perpendicular distance from an infinitely long straight wire carrying current , the magnetic field is
- Flux change due to motion of the sliding connector
The sliding rod/connector of length moves to the right with speed . The loop is completed by this rod, so as it moves, the area of the loop changes.
Since the magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the loop and has magnitude at the rod location, the motional emf induced across the rod is
Substituting :
- Induced current in the loop
The only resistance in the circuit is the resistance of the sliding connector. Hence, by Ohm’s law,
Therefore,
- Matching with options
This matches Option C:
