Finding emf induced in loop

A wire bent as a parabola is located in a uniform magnetic field induction B B , the vector being perpendicular to the plane x , y x, y . At the moment t = 0 t = 0 a connector starts sliding translation wise from the parabola y = k x 2 y = kx^2 for constant k > 0 k> 0 apex with a constant acceleration a thus formed as a function of y y .

B y a k By \sqrt{\frac{a}k} B y 2 a k By \sqrt{\frac{2a}k} B y 4 a k By \sqrt{\frac{4a}k} B y 8 a k By \sqrt{\frac{8a}k}

Let the equation of the parabola (which is not given in the problem) be y = k x 2 y=kx^2 (I had to guess from the answer options)

Then the velocity of the connector at a position ( x , y ) (x, y) , assuming it to be zero when the wire is at the apex of the parabola (this is also not given), is v = 2 k y v=\sqrt {2ky}

Area swept by the connector in time d t dt at that instant is d A = 2 x d y = 2 k y 1 2 d y dA=2xdy=\dfrac {2}{\sqrt k}y^{\frac 12}dy ,

so that the rate at which the area is swept out is

d A d t = 2 k y 1 2 d y d t \dfrac {dA}{dt}=\dfrac {2}{\sqrt k}y^{\frac 12}\dfrac {dy}{dt}

= 2 k y 1 2 v =\dfrac {2}{\sqrt k}y^{\frac 12}v

= 2 k 2 a y =\dfrac {2}{\sqrt k}\sqrt {2a}y

= 8 a k y =\sqrt {\dfrac {8a}{k}}y

So the e. m. f. Induced is

E i n d = 8 a k B y E_{ind}=\sqrt {\dfrac {8a}{k}}By

I think the ratio of E E and y y is asked in the problem, which is

8 a k \boxed {\sqrt {\dfrac {8a}{k}}} .
