Two parallel conducting rails are separated by a distance L. Two identical conducting wires are placed on the rails perpendicular to them. Each wire has mass M. One of the wires is given a velocity `v_(0)` parallel to the rails away from the other wire. There is a uniform magnetic field directed into the plane of the figure everywhere. Answer following questions for the system comprising of two wires. [Ignore friction and self inductance]

(i) Will the momentum of the system decrease with time?
(ii) What is kinetic energy of the system in steady state?

Text Solution
