Coil Moving through a Magnetic Field velocity

AI Thread Summary
To maintain a constant velocity of a rectangular coil moving through a magnetic field, a force is necessary to counteract the induced electromotive force (emf) generated by the coil's motion. The coil's resistance and the magnetic field strength contribute to the induced current, which in turn creates a magnetic force opposing the motion. Calculating the induced emf involves using Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, which relates the change in magnetic flux to the induced emf. The required force can then be determined by considering the relationship between the induced current, resistance, and the magnetic force acting on the coil. Understanding these principles is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement



At t=0, a rectangular coil of resistance R = 2 ohms and dimensions w = 3 cm and L = 8 cm enters a region of constant magnetic field B = 1.6 T directed into the screen as shown. The length of the region containing the magnetic field is LB = 15 cm. The coil is observed to move at constant velocity v = 5 cm/s. What is the force required at time t = 0.8 sec to maintain this velocity?

not actually sure where to start. any suggestions on where to start would be welcomed.
Thank you.

Hi jdmarquardt. Since you are asked to find a force, you should first try to understand conceptually why a force would be required to move the coil at constant speed.
 

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 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

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...
