A metal bar of mass m slides frictionlessly on two parallel conducting rails a distance l apart (Fig. 7 .17). A resistor R is connected across the rails, and a uniform magnetic field B, pointing into the page, fills the entire region.

(a) If the bar moves to the right at speed V, what is the current in the resistor? In what direction does it flow?
(b) What is the magnetic force on the bar? In what direction?
(c) If the bar starts out with speedat time t=0, and is left to slide, what is its speed at a later time t?
(d) The initial kinetic energy of the bar was, of course,Check that the energy delivered to the resistor is exactly .
Question: A rare case in which the electrostatic field E for a circuit can actually be calculated is the following: Imagine an infinitely long cylindrical sheet, of uniform resistivity and radius a . A slot (corresponding to the battery) is maintained at , and a steady current flows over the surface, as indicated in Fig. 7.51. According to Ohm's law, then,

(a) Use separation of variables in cylindrical coordinates to determine inside and outside the cylinder.
(b) Find the surface charge density on the cylinder.
A square loop of wire, of side , lies midway between two long wires,apart, and in the same plane. (Actually, the long wires are sides of a large rectangular loop, but the short ends are so far away that they can be neglected.) A clockwise current in the square loop is gradually increasing: role="math" localid="1658127306545" (a constant). Find the emf induced in the big loop. Which way will the induced current flow?
A long solenoid of radius a, carrying n turns per unit length, is looped by a wire with resistance R, as shown in Fig. 7.28.

(a) If the current in the solenoid is increasing at a constant rate , what current flows in the loop, and which way (left or right) does it pass through the resistor?
(b) If the currentin the solenoid is constant but the solenoid is pulled out of the loop (toward the left, to a place far from the loop), what total charge passes through the resistor?
Find the energy stored in a section of length of a long solenoid (radius, current, turns per unit length),
(a) using Eq. 7.30 (you found in Prob. 7.24);
(b) using Eq. 7.31 (we worked out in Ex. 5.12);
(c) using Eq. 7.35;
(d) using Eq. 7.34 (take as your volume the cylindrical tube from radius out to radius).
