The discussion revolves around calculating the induced electromotive force (emf) and current in a conducting rod moving through a magnetic field. The emf calculated was 1.463 V, which was confirmed as correct. However, the user encountered an error when calculating the current, initially finding it to be 3.6575 A but realizing the direction was incorrect. The right-hand rule indicates that the current flows in a clockwise direction, which is considered negative when counterclockwise is defined as positive. The user received clarification on the direction of current flow, helping to identify the mistake.

The conducting rod shown in Figure 30-52 has a length L and is being pulled along horizontal, frictionless, conducting rails at a constant velocity v. The rails are connected at one end with a metal strip. A uniform magnetic field B, directed out of the page, fills the region in which the rod moves. Assume that L = 10 cm, v = 7.7 m/s, and B = 1.9 T.
Here is the picture:

(a) What is the magnitude and direction of the emf induced in the rod? (Take up to be positive.)
I got: 1.463 which was correct.

(b)What is the magnitude and direction of the current in the conducting loop? (Take counterclockwise to be positive.) Assume that the resistance of the rod is 0.40 OHMS and that the resistance of the rails and metal strip is negligibly small.
I used

EMF - IR = 0;
I = EMF/R;
I = 1.463/.40 = 3.6575 which was wrong, any ideas were i messed up? Thanks.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The positive charges in the rod, moving to left, are pushed UPWARD
(by the right-hand-rule, okay?), which is in the CLOCKWISE sense.
If COUNTER-clockwise is called positive, your current will be negative.
 
Ahh thank you lightgrav!
 
The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
