Chapter 28 Problem 46

Question

In Fig. 28-43, a metal wire of mass m = 24.1 mg can slide with negligible friction on two horizontal parallel rails separated by distance d = 2.56 cm. The track lies in a vertical uniform magnetic field of magnitude 56.3 mT. At time t = 0, device G is connected to the rails, producing a constant current i = 9.13 rnA in the wire and rails (even as the wire moves). At t = 61.1 ms, what are the wire's (a) speed and (b) direction of motion (left or right)? Fig. 28-43 46.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 28 problem number 46 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Fig. 28-43, a metal wire of mass m = 24.1 mg can slide with negligible friction on two horizontal parallel rails separated by distance d = 2.56 cm. The track lies in a vertical uniform magnetic field of magnitude 56.3 mT. At time t = 0, device G is connected to the rails, producing a constant current i = 9.13 rnA in the wire and rails (even as the wire moves). At t = 61.1 ms, what are the wire's (a) speed and (b) direction of motion (left or right)? Fig. 28-43 46.
From the textbook chapter Magnetic Fields you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
