List-I contains four conducting loops lying in the XY plane, as shown in the figures. The loops are rotating about Z axis passing through the point O with time period T in clockwise direction. The region x > 0 contains a uniform magnetic field B in the +z direction. List-II contains the qualitative variation of the induced current i(t) for each of these loops. Choose the option which describes the correct match between the entries in List-I to those in List-II.

Answer
(3) P → 3, Q → 2, R → 1, S → 4
Solution
= B dAindt; a sector edge of radius a sweeping into (or out of) the field changes the area at the constant rate 12a2 , so the current is constant while an edge crosses the y-axis and zero otherwise; entering and leaving give opposite signs.
(P) Semicircle about its centre: area in field grows uniformly for 0–T/2, then falls uniformly for T/2–T → constant +i, then constant -i → (3).
(Q) Two 60 sectors (at 90 –150 and 210 –270 ): entering during 0–T/6 and T/3–T/2, leaving during T/2–2T/3 and 5T/6–T, zero in between → (2).
(R) One 60 sector: entering 0–T/6, leaving T/2–2T/3, zero otherwise → (1).
(S) Two diametrically opposite 60 sectors traversed in the same sense: one enters exactly while the other leaves, so the total flux stays constant → i = 0 → (4).
