A wire of mass m and length l can slide freely on a pair of smooth, vertical rails. A magnetic field B exists in the region in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the rails. The rails are connected at the top end by a capacitor of capacitance C. Find the acceleration of the wire neglecting any electric resistance.

Let the rod has a velocity `'theta'` at any instant, then at the point, e=Bltheta `
` Now q=cxx potential =ce=cBl theta`
` Current =(dq)/(dt)= cBl theta `
` =cBl (d theta)/(dt)= cBla`
(where a `rarr `acceleration )
From given figure force due to magnetic field and gravity are opposite to each other .
`so, mg-ilB=ma`
` implies mg-cBlaxxlB=ma`
`implies ma+cB^2l^2a=mg`
`implies a(m=cB^2l^2)=mg`
` implies (mg)/(m+cB^2l^2)`.

(b) If a magnetic field B exists in the region as shown in what is the average magnetic force on the free electrons?

This produces a transverse electric field in the conductor which opposes the magnetic force on the electrons. Find the magnitude of the electric field which will be the potential diference developed across the width of the conductor due to the electron- accumulation? The appearance of a transverse emf, when a current-carrying wire is placed in a magnetic field, is called hall effect.
