The figure shows an apparatus suggested by Faraday to generate electric current from a flowing river. Two identical conducting plates of length $a$ and width $b$ are placed parallel facing one another on opposite sides of the river flowing with velocity $u$ at a distance $d$ apart. Now both the plates are connected by a load resistance $R$. Then the current through the load $R$ is: (Consider the vertical component of the magnetic field produced by the earth is $B_v$ and the resistivity of river water is $\rho$.)

  • A
    $\frac{B_v ub}{R}$
  • B
    $\frac{B_v ud}{R + \frac{\rho d}{ab}}$
  • C
    $\frac{B_v ud}{R + \frac{\rho d}{ab}}$
  • D
    None

$A$ conducting circular loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field of $0.4\,T$ with its plane perpendicular to the field. The radius of the loop starts expanding at a constant rate of $1\,mm/s$. The magnitude of the induced emf in the loop at an instant when the radius of the loop is $2\,cm$ will be $...........\,\mu V$.
