Solved: A 10-cm-long wire is pulled along a U-shaped
Chapter 30, Problem 30.47(choose chapter or problem)
A 10-cm-long wire is pulled along a U-shaped conducting rail in a perpendicular magnetic field. The total resistance of the wire and rail is 0.20 . Pulling the wire at a steady speed of 4.0 m/s causes 4.0 W of power to be dissipated in the circuit. a. How big is the pulling force? b. What is the strength of the magnetic field?

QUESTION:
A 10-cm-long wire is pulled along a U-shaped conducting rail in a perpendicular magnetic field. The total resistance of the wire and rail is 0.20 . Pulling the wire at a steady speed of 4.0 m/s causes 4.0 W of power to be dissipated in the circuit. a. How big is the pulling force? b. What is the strength of the magnetic field?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
The power supplied by the external agent to pull the wire through the rail is equal to the power dissipated in the form of heat due to magnetic induction.
