The right hand rule to find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:
- The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.
- The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.
The magnetic force is given by the vector product of the velocity and the magnetic field.
F = q v x B
Where the bolds indicate vectors, F is the force, q the charge on the particle, v the velocity and B the magnetic field.
In the vector product, the vectors are perpendicular, which is why the right-hand rule has been established, see attached:
- The thumb points in the direction of speed.
- Fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field.
- The palm is in the direction of the force if the charge is positive and in the opposite direction if the charge is negative.
They indicate that the bar is dropped, therefore its speed is vertical and downwards, it moves to the left therefore this is the direction of the force, we use the right hand rule, the magnetic field must be horizontal, we have two possibilities:
- If the charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.
- If the charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is, horizontal away from us
In conclusion using the right hand rule we can find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:
- The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.
- The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.

Answer:
c. The steady-state value of the current depends on the resistance of the resistor.
Explanation:
Since all the components are connected in series, when the switch is at first open, current will not flow round the circuit. As current needs to flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and switch to the negative terminal of the battery.
But the moment the switch is closed, at the initial time t = 0, the current flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and switch to the negative terminal of the battery. It then begins to increase at a rate that depends upon the value of the inductance of the inductor.
The correct answer should be a
The final velocity is a vector quantity that measures the speed and direction of a moving body after it has reached its maximum acceleration
