A conducting square frame of side and a long straight wire carrying current are located in the same plane as shown in the figure. The frame moves to the right with a constant velocity The emf induced in the frame will be proportional to

To solve this problem, we need to determine the emf induced in the square frame as it moves with velocity near a long straight wire carrying current The magnetic field due to a long straight wire at a distance is given by:Consider the position of the square frame. The left side of the frame is at a distance from the wire, and the right side is at a distance The emf induced in the frame is due to the change in magnetic flux as it moves. The flux through the frame is:Calculate the integral:The integral of is so:The emf induced is the rate of change of flux:Since the frame moves with velocity we have Differentiate the expression for The emf is proportional to Therefore, the correct option is This corresponds to Option 3.
