The document discusses induced electromotive force (emf) in a conducting bar and rectangular loop near a current-carrying wire. It states that:
1) The emf induced in the bar is zero since the magnetic field is uniform, resulting in no net work.
2) The magnetic force is strongest at the top end of the bar closest to the wire, making it the higher potential point.
3) For a rectangular loop, edges parallel to the wire have no induced emf while perpendicular edges do, but no current flows since each edge's highest potential is nearest the wire, like two opposing batteries in a loop.

2πr 2π r 2π d b) The magnetic force is strongest at the top end, closest to the current carrying wire. Therefore, the top end, point a, is the higher potential since the force on positive charges is greatest there, leading to more positives gathering at that end. c) If the single bar was replaced by a rectangular loop, the edges parallel to the wire would have no emf induced, but the edges perpendicular to the wire will have an emf induced, just as in part (b). However, no current will flow because each edge will have its highest potential closest to the current carrying wire. It would be like having two batteries of opposite polarity connected in a loop.
