Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 342

Question: A wire cd of length l and mass m is sliding without friction on conducting rails ax and by as shown. The vertical rails are connected to each other with a resistance R between a and b. A uniform magnetic field B is applied perpendicular to the plane abcd such that cd moves with a constant velocity of

Options:

A) mgRBl

B) mgRB2l2

C) mgRB3l3

D) mgRB2l

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Due to magnetic field, wire will experience an upward force

F=Bil=B (BvlR) l

F=B2vl2R
If wire slides down with constant velocity then
F=mgB2vl2R=mgv=mgRB2l2
