A rod of mass `m` and resistance `r` is placed on fixed, resistanceless, smooth conducting rails (closed by a resistance `R`) and it is projected with an initial velocity `u`.Find its velocity as a function of time.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let at an instant the velocity of the rod be v. The emf induced in the rod will be vBl. The electrically equivalent circuit is shown in the following diagram.

`:.` Current in the circuit `i=(Blv)/(R+r)`
At time t
Magnetic force acting on the rod is F=ilB, opposite to the motion of the rod.

`ilB=-m(dV)/(dt)`.....(1)
`i=(Blv)/(R+r)`....(2)
Now solving these two equation
`(B^(2)l^(2)V)/(R+r)=-m*(dV)/(dt)`
`-(B^(2)l^(2))/((R+r)m)*dt=(dV)/(V)`
let `(B^(2)l^(2))/((R+r)m)=k`
`-K.dt=(dV)/(V)`
`int_(u)^(v)(dV)/(V)=int_(0)^(t)-K.dt`

In `((v)/(u))=-Kt`
`V=ue^(-Kt)`
