Question
A conducting rectangular loop of mass M, resistance R, anddimensions w by , falls from restinto a magnetic field BS, as shownin Figure P20.67. During the timeinterval before the top edge of theloop reaches the field, the loopapproaches a terminal speed vT.(a) Show thatvT 5MgRB2w2(b) Why is vT proportional to R? (c) Why is it inverselyproportional to B2?
Solution
The first step in solving 20 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A conducting rectangular loop of mass M, resistance R, anddimensions w by , falls from restinto a magnetic field BS, as shownin Figure P20.67. During the timeinterval before the top edge of theloop reaches the field, the loopapproaches a terminal speed vT.(a) Show thatvT 5MgRB2w2(b) Why is vT proportional to R? (c) Why is it inverselyproportional to B2?
From the textbook chapter Multiple Choice Questions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
