Question

A U-shaped conductor is locked in place while a vertically aligned, 3.0m-long cylindrical conductor slides across it to the left with a speed of 4.0m/s. The conductors maintain contact at all times forming a closed loop. An external magnetic field of 3.0T passes through the conductors as shown (in the image)

 

A) At the moment the two conductors form a perfect square, what is the magnetic Flux passing between them? Is this Flux increasing or decreasing?

 

B) What are the directions of the induced current and the induced magnetic field the conductors generate? Explain how you know your answers. 

 

C) If the flux through the loop drops to zero in 0.75 seconds. What is the EMF induced in the loop?
