AI Thread Summary
A rectangular loop of wire moving through a magnetic field generates current due to electromagnetic induction, as described by Faraday's law. The loop, measuring 15 cm by 2 cm and moving at 5 m/s in a magnetic field of 1.7 tesla, creates an electromotive force (emf) calculated using the formula emf = Blv. The current in the loop can be determined by dividing the emf by the loop's resistance of 0.8 ohms. Additionally, the magnetic force acting on the loop is influenced by the current flow and its direction relative to the magnetic field. Understanding these principles is essential for analyzing the behavior of the loop in the magnetic field.

Pull a rectangular loop through a magnetic field
In the figure a rectangular loop of wire L = 15 cm long by h = 2 cm high, with a resistance of R = 0.8 ohms, moves with constant speed v = 5 m/s as shown. The moving loop is partially inside a rectangular region where there is a uniform magnetic field (gray area) and partially in a region where the magnetic field is negligibly small.

In the gray region, the magnetic field points into the page, and its magnitude is B = 1.7 tesla.



(c) What is the conventional current in the loop?


______A
(d) Which of the following are true? Check all that apply.
Because a current flows in the loop, there is a magnetic force on the loop.
The magnetic force only stretches the loop; the net magnetic force on the loop is zero.
The magnetic force on the loop is in the same direction as the velocity of the loop.

(e) What is the magnitude of the magnetic force on the loop?
________N


Thanks in advance.

hi laser123! :wink:

show us what you've tried, and where you're stuck, and then we'll know how to help! :smile:
 
I'm stuck on C. I tried Fb=qvB then -Fb=qE then -Fb/q=E------->E*L=delta then deltaV/R=I

emf = Blv ? :wink:
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'
I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
