A conductor of mass m=5kg and length l=4...

A conductor of mass `m=5kg` and length `l=4m` is placed on horizontal surface and a uniform magnetic field `B=2` Tesla exist parallel to horizontal surface but perpendicular to the conductor. Suddenly, a certain amount of charge is passed through it, then it is found to jump to a height `h=5m`. Then, find the amount of charge that passes through the conductor in coulomb. (take `g=10m//s^(2)`)

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the amount of charge that passes through the conductor when it jumps to a height of 5 meters in a magnetic field. We will use the principles of force, momentum, and energy conservation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Forces Acting on the Conductor:** The conductor experiences a magnetic force when a current flows through it in the presence of a magnetic field. The force \( F \) on the conductor can be expressed as: \[ F = I \cdot L \cdot B \] where \( I \) is the current, \( L \) is the length of the conductor, and \( B \) is the magnetic field strength. 2. **Relate Force to Change in Momentum:** The force also relates to the change in momentum of the conductor. If \( \Delta t \) is the time duration for which the current flows, the change in momentum \( \Delta p \) can be expressed as: \[ F \cdot \Delta t = m \cdot v_1 \] where \( m \) is the mass of the conductor and \( v_1 \) is the final velocity after the force has acted. 3. **Use Conservation of Energy:** When the conductor jumps to a height \( h \), its potential energy at the peak is equal to the kinetic energy it had just before jumping: \[ mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv_1^2 \] From this equation, we can solve for \( v_1 \): \[ v_1 = \sqrt{2gh} \] 4. **Substituting \( v_1 \) into the Momentum Equation:** Substitute \( v_1 \) back into the momentum equation: \[ F \cdot \Delta t = m \cdot \sqrt{2gh} \] 5. **Substituting the Expression for Force:** Substitute \( F = I \cdot L \cdot B \) into the equation: \[ I \cdot L \cdot B \cdot \Delta t = m \cdot \sqrt{2gh} \] 6. **Express Current in Terms of Charge:** The current \( I \) can be expressed in terms of charge \( Q \) and time \( \Delta t \): \[ I = \frac{Q}{\Delta t} \] Substitute this into the equation: \[ \frac{Q}{\Delta t} \cdot L \cdot B \cdot \Delta t = m \cdot \sqrt{2gh} \] This simplifies to: \[ Q \cdot L \cdot B = m \cdot \sqrt{2gh} \] 7. **Solve for Charge \( Q \):** Rearranging gives: \[ Q = \frac{m \cdot \sqrt{2gh}}{L \cdot B} \] 8. **Substituting Known Values:** Now, substitute the known values: - \( m = 5 \, \text{kg} \) - \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) - \( h = 5 \, \text{m} \) - \( L = 4 \, \text{m} \) - \( B = 2 \, \text{T} \) \[ Q = \frac{5 \cdot \sqrt{2 \cdot 10 \cdot 5}}{4 \cdot 2} \] 9. **Calculating \( \sqrt{2gh} \):** \[ \sqrt{2gh} = \sqrt{2 \cdot 10 \cdot 5} = \sqrt{100} = 10 \] 10. **Final Calculation:** Substitute back into the equation for \( Q \): \[ Q = \frac{5 \cdot 10}{8} = \frac{50}{8} = \frac{25}{4} \, \text{C} \] ### Final Answer: The amount of charge that passes through the conductor is \( \frac{25}{4} \, \text{C} \).
