A conducting rod is free to slide along ...

A conducting rod is free to slide along a pair of conducting rails, in a region where a uniform and constant (in time) magnetic field is directed into the plane of the paper, as the drawing illustrates. Initially the rod is at rest. There is no frictio between the rails and the rod. What happens to the rod after the switch is closed? If any induced emf devlops, be sure to account for its effect.

A

The rod accelerates to the right, its velocity increasing without limit.

B

The rod does not move.

C

The rod accelerates to the right for a while and then slows down and comes to a halt.

D

The rod accelerates to the right and eventually reaches a constant velocity at which it continues to move.

A pair of long conducting rails are held vertical at a separation l = 50 cm . The top ends are connected by a resistance of R = 0.5 Omega and a fuse (F) of negligible resistance. A conducting rod is free to slide along the rails under gravity. The whole system is in a uniform horizontal magnetic field B = 1.5 T as shown. Resistance of the rod and rails are negligible and the rod remains horizontal as it moves. The rod is released from rest. Find the minimum mass of the rod that will ensure that the fuse blows out. It is known that rating of the fuse is 4 A.
