Designing a Lab to Find Constant Slope Using E=Blv Equation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on designing a lab experiment to produce five data points that yield a constant slope using the equation E=Blv. The user plans to rearrange the equation to E/Bv = l, with B and v as independent variables that will vary in each trial, while E is measured through a device. Questions arise about how to effectively change the values of B and v, as well as how to accurately measure E. Additionally, the user seeks clarification on their research question regarding the length of a rod necessary to produce a constant electromotive force (emf). The conversation highlights the need for clearer communication and understanding of the concepts involved in the experiment.

Homework Statement


I need to design a lab that will give me 5 points that produce a constant slope.


Homework Equations


I want to use the equation for emf E=Blv
I would re-arrange it to make E/Bv = l
Where B and v are my constantly increasing data points, E is measured by some sort of device, and l is my constant slope.

The Attempt at a Solution


I know my independent variables would be B and v, I would have different vlues for each of my 5 trials.
What would I use to produce and change the B and v?
What would I use to measure my E?
Also, I need help with my research question. So far I have "How long must a rod be to..." would the rest be ... to produce a constant emf? I know it has something to do with emf.


Please help, I'm completely lost!

Why would a rod produce EMF (electromotive force or electromagnetic field?)?

And in your equation, are

B = magnetic field
V = voltage
E = Electric field

??
 
v is velocity of the rod when it is moved across the magnet.
 
or a solenoid? i know this has something to do with solenoids...
 
What in the world are you trying to ask us? We are not mind readers.

Please take some time, and re-ask your question and request for help.
 

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 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
