Homework Statement


A rectangular loop of wire with dimensions 2.32 by 7.91 and resistance 0.557 is being pulled to the right out of a region of uniform magnetic field. The magnetic field has magnitude 3.01 and is directed into the plane of the following figure .

At the instant when the speed of the loop is 2.99 and it is still partially in the field region, what is the magnitude of the force the magnetic field exert on the loop?


What is the direction of the force the magnetic field exert on the loop?

Homework Equations


I used
F=(BLv/R)LB

The Attempt at a Solution



I got F=.146N
 
Physics news on Phys.org
So how soon does the figure "follow"? Since the loop is not square it makes a difference.
 
B and v are to the right!
 
Here is the figure

its pretty much what I tried. would you provide me with equations for that?

No, B is into page. OK now that we have the facts we can help you.

I suggest first step is to determine the current thru the wire. Remember Michael Faraday and Georg Simon Ohm?

Thread 'Direction of the magnetic field of an oscillating charge'

Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
