Practice portal › Electromagnetic Induction › Lenz's Law

A conducting square loop of side L and resistance R moves in its plane with a uniform velocity v perpendicular to one of its sides. A magnetic induction B constant in time and space, pointing perpendicular and into the plane of the loop exists everywhere, with half the loop outside the field. The induced emf is

Asked in JEE Main 2002 · Lenz's law in motion and damping

Answer: (4) vBL

Step-by-step solution

Only the side inside the field cuts lines; the opposite side is outside, so nothing cancels it.

ε=BLv.

The resistance fixes the current, not the emf.

Why the other options are wrong
