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)`.

A loop is formed by two parallel conductors connected by a solenoid with inductance L=2H and a conducting rod of mass m=80g, which can freely (without fricition) slide over the conductors. The conductors are located in a horizontal plane in a uniform vertical magnetic field with induction B=4T. The distance between the conductors is equal to l=4cm. At the moment t=0 the rod is imparted an initial velocity v_(0)=2 cm//s directed to the right. Find the amplitude (in cm) for the oscillations of conducting rod, if the electric resistance of the loop is negligible.

A metallic ring of mass m and radius l (ring being horizontal) is falling under gravity in a region having a magnetic field. If z is the vertical direction, the z-component of magnetic field is B_Z = B_O (I + lambdaz) .

If the ring has reached a constant velocity, use the conservation of energy to determine v in terms of m, B, lambda and acceleration due to gravity g.

A cylindrical capacitor with external radius R, internal radius R-d(dltltR ) , length l and mass M hangs on an insulating cord in a region where there is a homogenous, vertical magnetic field of strength B.
