QJEEAdv09Ph5fd0: JEE Advanced 2009 Physics - Class 12 JEEAdv09Ph5fd0 Solution: Two metallic rings A and B, identical in shape and size but…
Two metallic rings A and B, identical in shape and size but having different resistivities and , are kept on top of two identical solenoids as shown in the figure below. When current I is switched on in both the solenoids in identical manner, the rings A and B jump to heights and , respectively, with h_A > h_B . The possible relation(s) between their resistivities and their masses and is (are)

Multiple Choice Options
- A > and =
- B < and =
- C > and >
- D < and <
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Induced emf is same in both the rings:
.... (1)
Impulse is
That is, ..... (2)
and ...... (3)
From Eqs. (1), (2) and (3), we get
Since {h_A} > {h_B} and for Constant. Therefore, {\rho _A} < {\rho _B} . Also if {m_A} < {m_B} and {\rho _A} < {\rho _B} ,
{m_A}{\rho _A} < {m_B}{\rho _B}
\Rightarrow {h_A} > {h_B} (already given)
