Insane Electromagnetic Induction Question. Challenge your brains! :D

F=BIL, F=mg




There is a B field acting on the rod so we resolve that.
I tried to resolve the other force vectors according to:
1. Force acting on rod by gravity
2. Force acting on rod by electromagnetic (F= BIL)

but I can't seem to see the link between velocity and force??

Thanks in advance guys :)
 
Physics news on Phys.org


the electric force on wire is
\frac{Blvcos\theta}{R}.Blcos\theta=\frac{(Blcos\theta)^2}{R}v
This force acts in opposite direction of the gravitational force.
 


Thanks, I got it :)
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
