Problem P. 4515. (February 2013)

P. 4515. The opposite sides of the vertical conducting frame shown in the figure are parallel, and the top part is connected through a resistor of resistance R=2 ohm. The frame is in uniform magnetic field of B which is perpendicular to the plane of the frame. B=0.8 T. The distance between the parallel, vertical sides of the frame is \ell=20 cm, and the mass of the piece of conductor of negligible resistance, which can slide along the vertical wires without friction is m=200 g. The piece of conductor is released with zero initial speed.

a) Graph the net force exerted on the piece of conductor as a function of the speed of the conductor.

b) Estimate how much time elapses while the speed of the conductor changes from 4 m/s to 4.2 m/s. How much distance does it cover during this?

Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldásvázlat. \(\displaystyle a)\) \(\displaystyle F(v)=mg-\frac{B^2\ell^2}{R}\,v.\)

\(\displaystyle b)\) Az erő \(\displaystyle F(v_1)=1{,}906~{\rm N}\), \(\displaystyle F(v_2)=1{,}909~{\rm N}\); alig változik, ezért jó közelítésben az átlagerővel (1,907 N) számolhatunk. \(\displaystyle \Delta t=0{,}021~\rm s\), és a megtett út (az átlagsebességből számolva) kb. 8,8 cm.
