Seperation of the induced charge

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the separation of induced charge in a moving block conductor within a magnetic field. The right-hand rule was applied to determine the direction of current, which flows from right to left. This indicates that positive charges accumulate on the left side, while negative charges gather on the right. The confusion about the answer being "1" instead of "2" was clarified, leading to a better understanding of charge distribution. The explanation helped the participant grasp the concept effectively.

Homework Statement



Please look into the attached file. In that you can see a block conductor is moving within the magnetic field which is acting isto the page. What will be the separation of the induced charge? will it be 1 or 2?

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


By using the right hand rule the direction of current was found and it was from right to left.
So i thought that the right side become positively charged left side would have negative charge but the answer was the 1. why?
Help me please

Yes, good. That means that positive charges move to the left (same direction as the current), and negative charges move to the right (the opposite direction as the current).
 
ooohhhh! I got it know
Thanks a lot!
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

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 .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
