Magnetic forces can be used to accelerate projectiles to very high speeds in a so-called railgun. In the simplified version shown below, a voltage source drives current down two parallel ideal wires to a section of metal in contact with both wires. The metal has a resistance 0.6 mΩmΩ and weights 6 grams. We assume that the contacts between the wires and the section of metal are friction-less and that the metal can slide along the wires for a total distance of 1 m before exiting the railgun as a projectile. Our goal is to calculate what voltage that will cause the metal projectile to leave the railgun at the speed of sound (343 m/s), assuming it starts from rest.
First, what constant force (in N) will accelerate the rod to the speed of sound in 1 m? Give your answer to 3 significant digits.
Next, which voltage V will generate the necessary current to create this constant force? Give your answer to 3 significant digits.
A hollow cylinder is shown in this figure. When the potential

B) 4.98 nA
C) 5.75 nA
D) 6.42 nA
E) 8.12 nA
A spark can jump between two nontouching conductors if the potential difference between them is sufficiently large. A potential
difference of approximately 940 V is required to produce a spark in an air gap of 1.0 x 104 m. Suppose the light bulb in the figure is
replaced by such a gap. How fast would a 2.55-m rod have to be moving in a magnetic field of 6.03 T to cause a spark to jump across the
gap?
