 Paragraph for Question Nos. 21 to 22
In a thin rectangular metallic strip, a constant current I flows along the positive x-
direction, as shown in the figure. The length, width and thickness of the strip are l , w, d
respectively. A uniform magnetic field B is applied on the strip along the positive y-
direction. Due to this, the charge carriers experience a net deflection along the Z-
direction. This results in accumulation of charge carriers on the surface PQRS and
appearance of equal and opposite charges on the face opposite to PQRS .A potential
difference along the z-direction is thus developed. Charge accumulation continues
until the magnetic force is balanced by the electric force. The current is assumed to
be uniformly distributed on the cross section of the strip and carried by electrons.

figure) . V1 and V2 are the potential differences between K and M in strips 1 and 2 ,
respectively. Then, for a given current I flowing through them in a given magnetic
field strength B, the correct statement(s) is (are)

A) if w1 = w2 and d1 = 2d2 then V2=2V1

B) if w1 = w2 and d1 = 2d2 then V2=V1

C) if w1 = 2w2 and d1 = d2 then V2=2V1

D) if w1 = 2w2 and d1 = d2 then V2=V1

22. Consider two different metallic strips ( 1 and 2 ) of same dimensions (Length l , width
w and thickness d )with carrier densities n1 and n2 respectively. Strip 1 is placed in

directions. Then V1 and V2 are the potential differences developed between K and M
in strips 1 and 2, respectively. Assuming that the current I is the same for both the
strips, the correct option(s) is (are)
 A) if B1=B2 and n1 = 2n2 , then V2=2V1 B) if B1=B2 and n1 = 2n2 , then V2=V1
