A current i, indicated by the crosses in figure, is established in a strip of copper of height h and width w. A uniform field of magnetic induction B is applied at right angle to the strip. (a) Calculate the drift velocity v_d of the electrons. (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force F acting on the electrons? (c) What should the magnitude and direction of a homogeneous electric field E be in order to counterbalance the effect of mangetic field? (d) Calculate voltage V necessary between two sides of the conductor in order to creat this field E Between which sides of the conductor would this voltage have to be applied? (e) If no electric field is applied from the outside, the electrons will be pushed somewhat to one side and therefore will give rise to a uniform electric field E_H across the conductor until the forces of this electrostatic field E_H balance the magnetic forces encountered in part (b). What will be the magnitude and direction of field E_H ? Assume that n, the number of conductor electrons per unit volume is 1.1xx10^(29) m^-3, h = 0.02 m, w= 0.1 cm, i = 50 A, and B=2 T.

A velocity filter uses the properties of electric and magnetic field to select particles that are moving with a specifice velocity. Charged particles with varying speeds are directed into the filter as shown. The filter consistt of an electric field E and a magnetic field B, each of constant magnitude, directed perpendicular to each other as shown, The charge particles will experience a force due to electric field given by F = qE. If positively charged particles are used, this force is towards right. The moving particle will also experience a force due to magnetic field given by F = qvB. When forces due to the two fields are of equal magnitude, the net force on the particle will be zero, the particle will pass through centre with its path unaltered. The electric and magnetic fields can be adjusted t choose the specific velocity to be filtered. The efect of gravity can be neglected. If the filter is set to detect particles of speed v_(0) , which one of the following diagrams best illustrates how the magnitude of the particle acceleration (a) depends on velocity v?

A uniform thin cylindrical disk of mass M and radius R is attaached to two identical massless springs of spring constatn k which are fixed to the wall as shown in the figure. The springs are attached to the axle of the disk symmetrically on either side at a distance d from its centre. The axle is massless and both the springs and the axle are in horizontal plane. the unstretched length of each spring is L. The disk is initially at its equilibrium position with its centre of mass (CM) at a distance L from the wall. The disk rolls without slipping with velocity vecV_0 = vacV_0hati. The coefficinet of friction is mu. The centre of mass of the disk undergoes simple harmonic motion with angular frequency omega equal to -
