A metal rod of mass m slides without friction along two parallel horizontal rails, separated by a distance ℓ and connected by a resistor R, as shown in Figure P30.13. A uniform vertical magnetic field of magnitude B is applied perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The applied force shown in the figure acts only for a moment, to give the rod a speed v. In terms of m, ℓ, R, B, and v, find the distance the rod will then slide as it coasts to a stop.

- A circular coil 15.0 cm in radius and composed of 145 tightly wound turns carries a current of 2.50 A in the counterclockwise direction, where the plane of the coil makes an angle of 15.0 with the y axis (Fig. P30.73). The coil is free to rotate about the z axis and is placed in a region with a uniform magnetic field given by B=1.35jT. a. What is the magnitude of the magnetic torque on the coil? b. In what direction will the coil rotate? FIGURE P30.73arrow_forwardA wire is bent in the form of a square loop with sides of length L (Fig. P30.24).

- A metal rod of mass m slides without friction along two parallel horizontal rails, separated by a distance l and connected by a resistor R, as shown in Figure P23.15. A uniform vertical magnetic field of magnitude B is applied perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The applied force shown in the figure acts only for a moment, to give die rod a speed v.

A resistor R = 0.400 is connected to the rails at points a and b, directly opposite each other. The wheels make good electrical contact with the rails, so the axle, rails, and R form a closed-loop circuit. The only significant resistance in the circuit is R. A uniform magnetic field B = 0.080 0 T is vertically downward. (a) Find the induced current I in the resistor. (b) What horizontal force F is required to keep the axle rolling at constant speed?

The bar of mass m in Figure P30.51 is pulled horizontally across parallel, frictionless rails by a massless string that passes over a light, frictionless pulley and is attached to a suspended object of mass M. The uniform upward magnetic field has a magnitude B, and the distance between the rails is . The only significant electrical resistance is the load resistor R shown connecting the rails at one end. Assuming the suspended object is released with the bar at rest at t = 0, derive an expression that gives the bars horizontal speed as a function of time. Figure P30.51arrow_forward
- A toroid has a major radius R and a minor radius r and is tightly wound with N turns of wire on a hollow cardboard torus. Figure P31.6 shows half of this toroid, allowing us to see its cross section. If R r, the magnetic field in the region enclosed by the wire is essentially the same as the magnetic field of a solenoid that has been bent into a large circle of radius R. Modeling the field as the uniform field of a long solenoid, show that the inductance of such a toroid is approximately L=120N2r2R Figure P31.6arrow_forwardThrough a circular loop (radius = 0.50 m) circulates a current of 3.0 A and a unit normal vector (2i - j + 2k) / 3.
