Question
Suppose a conducting rod (mass ra, resistance R) restson two frictionless and resistanceless parallel rails a distance Iapart in a uniform magnetic field B (_L to the rails and to therod) as in Fig. 29-44. A t t = 0, the rod is at rest and asource of emf is connected to the points a and b. Determinethe speed of the rod as a function of time if (a) the sourceputs out a constant current I, (b) the source puts out aconstant emf %. (c) Does the rod reach a terminal speed ineither case? I f so, what is it?
Solution
The first step in solving 29 problem number 34 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Suppose a conducting rod (mass ra, resistance R) restson two frictionless and resistanceless parallel rails a distance Iapart in a uniform magnetic field B (_L to the rails and to therod) as in Fig. 29-44. A t t = 0, the rod is at rest and asource of emf is connected to the points a and b. Determinethe speed of the rod as a function of time if (a) the sourceputs out a constant current I, (b) the source puts out aconstant emf %. (c) Does the rod reach a terminal speed ineither case? I f so, what is it?
From the textbook chapter Electromagnetic Induction
and Faraday's Law you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
