91Ó°ÊÓ

A metal bar with length L, mass m, and resistance R is placed on frictionless metal rails that are inclined at an angle f above the horizontal. The rails have negligible resistance. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude B is directed downward as shown in Fig. P29.69 . the bar is released from rest and slides down the rails. (a) Is the direction of the current induced in the
bar from a to b or from b to a? (b) What is the terminal speed of the bar? (c) What is the induced current in the bar when the terminal speed has been reached? (d) After the terminal speed has been reached, at what rate is electrical energy being converted to thermal energy in the resistance of the bar? (e) After the terminal speed has been reached, at what rate is work being done on the bar by gravity? Compare your answer to that in part (d)

Step by step solution

01

Important Concepts

Magnetic flux is given by

ϕ=B→.A→

WhereB⇶Äis the magnetic field andA→is the area vector

Faraday’s law states that the induced emf in a coil is equal to the negative of the rate of change of magnetic flux times the number of turns in the coil. It involves the interaction of charge with magnetic field.

emf=-NΔϕΔt

Force on conductor with vectorIâ‡¶Ä along the wire and placed in magnetic fieldB→ is

F→b=Il→×B→

Power delivered to a resistor of resistance R is given by

P=I2R

02

Application

Apply the formula for flux change

ϕ=B→·A→=BAcos(θ)

As the bar slides down, the area of the loop increases

dϕdt=Bcos(θ)dAdt=BLcos(θ)dsdtdϕdt=BLvcos(θ)

Using faraday’s law we get

ε=-BLvcos(θ)

So, induced emf is negative.

Using the right-hand rule, induced emf is directed counter clockwise

Therefore the induced current is a to b.

03

Terminal Velocity in the loop

Since the bar is a current carrying conductor, moving in a magnetic field, so there is magnetic force on the bar is

FB=ILB

From Ohm’s law

FB=LBεR

Substitution for the emf here we get

FB=L2B2vRcos(Ï•)

Since the bar slides down due to its own weight we get

Fg=mgsin(Ï•)

When terminal velocity is reached we get equilibrium

Fg=FBmgsin(Ï•)=L2B2vtRcos(Ï•)

Rearranging we get terminal velocity is

vt=mgRsinϕL2B2cos2ϕ

04

Current in the loop

We know at terminal velocity emf is

ε=BLvtcosϕ

Again from Ohm’s Law

I=εR=BLvtcosϕR

Substitute the expression for the terminal velocity

I=mgtanϕLB

05

 Step 5:Power delivered

Power delivered is given by

Pe=I2R

Substitute the expression for current at terminal velocity

Pe=m2g2Rtan2ϕL2B2

06

Step 6:Work Done

Work done is given by

W=F.s

Rate of work at which work is done

dWgdt=mgsinϕdsdtdWgdt=mgvtsinϕ

Substitute the expression for terminal velocity

dWgdt=m2g2Rtan2ϕL2B2

This is the same as power in part (e) as in by Conversation of energy.
