Why Are My Calculations for Current in Moving Rods Using the Blv Rule Incorrect?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the incorrect calculations of current in a moving rod within a magnetic field, emphasizing the use of the Blv rule over Faraday's law for moving media. The user is advised to check the area of the triangle as a function of time when calculating electromotive force (Emf). It is suggested to present equations using LaTeX for clarity instead of images. The importance of omitting the magnetic field created by the current and the resistance at the contact point between the rods is highlighted. Overall, the thread aims to clarify the correct approach to calculating current in this scenario.

Homework Statement
The rod is moving on a second rod with speed of v in the magnetic field perpendicular to rod. I know its resistance per meter. I am expected to omit megnetic field created by the current and resistance at the point where rods touch each other and calculate current. I presented the situation with drawing ( the same as in task). My calculations occured to be wrong. Why?
Relevant Equations
I=Emf/R

Check the area of the triangle as a function of time. Also, try using LaTeX for writing your equations instead of posting photos some of which are sideways.

In moving media such as your rod it's generally best to use the Blv rule rather than Faraday, although in this case it's OK to do so.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
