Question

A pair of parallel conducting rails that are separated by a distance d = 15.3 cm lies at a right angle to a uniform magnetic field of B = 0.600 T directed into the screen. A resistor R = 19.0 ? is connected across the rails. A conducting bar is moved to the left at v = 2.30 m/s across the rails. What is the current i in the resistor? i = A What direction is the current in the bar? down up What is the magnetic force FB on the bar? FB = N

Step 1

Step 1: Calculate the magnetic force on the conducting bar using the formula F = BIL, where F is the magnetic force, B is the magnetic field strength, I is the current, and L is the length of the conductor moving through the magnetic field. Show more…
