Q. Column I gives certain situations in which a straight metallic wire of resistance $R$ is used and Column II gives some resulting effects. Match the statements in Column I with the statements in Column II:
Column I Column II
A A charged capacitor is connected to the ends of the wire. P A constant current flows through the wire.
B The wire is moved perpendicular to its length with a constant velocity in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of motion. Q Thermal energy is generated in the wire.
C The wire is placed in a constant electric field that has a direction along the length of the wire. R A constant potential difference develops between the ends of the wire.
D A battery of constant emf is connected to the ends of the wire. S Charges of constant magnitude appear at the ends of the wire.

Solution:

$(A) \rightarrow(Q)$
The capacitor discharges by generating heat in the wire.
$(B) \rightarrow$ (R), (S)
Induced emf is $e=v B I$, which appears across the wire:

$( C ) \rightarrow( R ),( S )$
Free electrons in the wire experience electric force $F=e E$ and accumulate at the end, thereby creating a potential difference across the ends.
$(D) \rightarrow(P),(Q),(R)$
Free electrons in the wire experience electric force $F=e E$ and accumulate at the end, thereby creating a potential difference across the ends.
