Chapter , Problem 33

(choose chapter or problem)

(II) A conducting rod rests on two long frictionless parallelrails in a magnetic field B (_L to the rails and rod) as inFig. 29-44. (a) I f the rails are horizontal and the rod is givenan in itia l push, w ill the rod travel at constant speed eventhough a magnetic field is present? (b ) Suppose at t = 0,when the rod has speed v = v0 , the two rails areconnected electrically by a wire from point a to point b.Assuming the rod has resistance R and the rails havenegligible resistance, determine the speed of the rod as afunction of time.
