Question
Consider the situation of the previous problem.
  1. Calculate the force needed to keep the sliding wire moving with a constant velocity v.
  2. If the force needed just after t = 0 is F0, find the time at which the force needed will be $\frac{\text{F}_0}{2}.$

Answer

$\text{e}=\text{Bvl}$

$\text{i}=\frac{\text{e}}{\text{R}}=\frac{\text{Bvl}}{2\text{r}(\text{l}+\text{vt})}$

  1. $\text{F}=\text{ilB}=\frac{\text{Bvl}}{2\text{r}(\text{l}+\text{vt})}\times\text{lB}=\frac{\text{B}^2\text{l}^2\text{v}}{2\text{r}(\text{l}+\text{vt})}$
  2. Just after $\text{t}=0$

$\text{f}_0=\text{ilB}=\text{lB}\Big(\frac{\text{lBv}}{2\text{rl}}\Big)=\frac{\text{l}\text{B}^2\text{v}}{2\text{r}}$

$\frac{\text{f}_0}{2}=\frac{\text{l}\text{B}^2\text{v}}{4\text{r}}=\frac{\text{l}^2\text{B}^2\text{v}}{2\text{r}(\text{l}+\text{vt})}$

$\Rightarrow2\text{l}=\text{l}+\text{vt}$

$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{\text{l}}{\text{v}}$

A vector has both magnitude and direction. Does it mean that anything that has magnitude and direction is necessarily a vector? The rotation of a body can be specified by the direction of the axis of rotation, and the angle of rotation about the axis. Does that make any rotation a vector?

A proton goes undeflected in a crossed electric and magnetic field (the fields are perpendicular to each other) at a speed of 2.0 × 105ms-1. The velocity is perpendicular to both the fields. When the electric field is switched off, the proton moves along a circle of radius 4.0cm. Find the magnitudes of the electric and magnetic fields. Take the mass of the proton = 1.6 × 10-27kg

An object of mass m is raised from the surface of the earth to a height equal to the radius of the earth, that is, taken from a distance R to 2R from the centre of the earth. What is the gain in its potential energy?
One end of a long string of linear mass density 8.0 × 10–3kg m–1 is connected to an electrically driven tuning fork of frequency 256Hz. The other end passes over a pulley and is tied to a pan containing a mass of 90kg. The pulley end absorbs all the incoming energy so that reflected waves at this end have negligible amplitude. At t = 0, the left end (fork end) of the string x = 0 has zero transverse displacement (y = 0) and is moving along positive y-direction. The amplitude of the wave is 5.0cm. Write down the transverse displacement y as function of x and t that describes the wave on the string.
