A rod with negligible resistance is sliding toward the right with a speed of 2.82m/s on rails separated by L=4.03cm that have negligible resistance. A uniform magnetic field of 1.5T, perpendicular to and directed out of the screen, exists throughout the region. The rails are connected on the left end by a resistor with resistance equal to 5.5Ω.

Step 1
We have: - Speed of the rod, \( v = 2.82 \, \text{m/s} \) - Length of the rails, \( L = 4.03 \, \text{cm} = 0.0403 \, \text{m} \) - Magnetic field strength, \( B = 1.5 \, \text{T} \) - Resistance of the resistor, \( R = 5.5 \, \Omega \) Show more…

A straight, horizontal rod slides along parallel conducting rails at an angle with the horizontal as shown. The rails are connected at the bottom by horizontal rail so that the rod and rails forms a closed rectangular loop. A uniform vertical field exists throughout the region. 0.78 m 14 g sliding rod 1.2 Ω 0.22 T Viewed from above 0.22 T Viewed from the side If the velocity of the rod is 4.5 m/s, what is the current through the resistor? Assume the rod remains in contact with the rails as it slides down the rails, the rod experiences no friction or air drag; and the rails and rod have negligible resistance. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s².

As shown below, metal rod of length 10 cm is being pulled along horizontal, frictionless, conducting rails at constant velocity v with v = 5.0m/s. The rails are connected at one end with a metal strip. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude B = 1.2T directed out of the page fills the region in which the rod moves. The resistance of the rod is R = 0.40 Ω, and assume that the resistance of the rails and metal strip is negligibly small:

The figure below shows a zero-resistance rod sliding to the right on two zero-resistance rails separated by the distance L=0.450 m. The rails are connected by a 12 ohm resistor, and the entire system is in a uniform magnetic field with a magnitude of 0.750 T. a) Find the speed at which the bar must be moved to produce a current of 0.155 A in the resistor. b) If the bar moves to the right, what direction will the current flow?
