A rod of mass m, length l and resistance...

A rod of mass `m`, length `l` and resistance `R` is sliding down on a smooth inclined parallel rails with a cinstant velocity `v`. If a uniform horizontal magnetic field `B` exists, then find thevalue of `B`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


The emf induced in the rod,
`E = (B sin theta)lv`
`= Blv sin theta`
The current in the circuit `I = (E)/(R ) =(Blv sin theta)/(R )`
Magnetic force acting on the sliding rod, `F_(mag) = IlB`
`F_(mag) = ((Blv sin theta)/(R ))lB`
`=(B^(2)l^(2)v sin theta)/(R )`
If the rod is sliding with constant velocity,
`F_(mag)sin theta = mg sin theta`
`rarr` `=(B^(2)l^(2)v sin^(2) theta)/(R ) = mg sin theta`
`rarr` `B = sqrt((mgR)/(l^(2)vsin theta))`

A glass rod of length l moves with velocity in a uniform magnetic field B. What is the e.m.f. induced in the rod ?

A straight horizontal conductor PQ of length l, and mass_ m slides down on two smooth conducting fixed parallel rails, set inclined at an angle 9 to the horizontal as shown in figure-5.30. The top end of the bar are connected with a capacitor of capacitance C. The system is placed in a uniform magnetic field, in the direction perpendicular to the inclined plane formed by the rails as shown in figure. If the resistance of the bars and the sliding conductor are negligible calculate the acceleration of sliding conductor as a function of time ifit is released from rest at t= 0
