The conducting rod shown in the accompanying figure moves along parallel metal rails that are 25-cm apart. The system is in a uniform magnetic field of strength 0.75 T, which is directed into the page. The resistances of the rod and the rails are negligible, but the section PQ has a resistance of 0.25 Ω . (a) What is the emf (including its sense) induced in the rod when it is moving to the right with a speed of 5.0 m/s? (b) What force is required to keep the rod moving at this speed? (c) What is the rate at which work is done by this force? (d) What is the power dissipated in the resistor?

Figure shows the rod that slides to the right along the conducting rails at a constant velocity 5 meters per second in a uniform perpendicular magnetic field. Distance between the rails is 25 cm. The rails are connected trough the 0.25 Ohm resistor.

a. 0.94 V; b. 0.70 N; c. 3.52 J/s; d. 3.52 W

The magnetic field between the poles of a horseshoe electromagnet is uniform and has a cylindrical symmetry about an axis from the middle of the South Pole to the middle of the North Pole. The magnitude of the magnetic field changes as a rate of dB / dt due to the changing current through the electromagnet. Determine the electric field at a distance r from the center.

A long solenoid of radius a with n turns per unit length is carrying a time-dependent current I ( t ) = I 0 sin ( ω t ) , where I 0 and ω are constants. The solenoid is surrounded by a wire of resistance R that has two circular loops of radius b with b > a (see the following figure). Find the magnitude and direction of current induced in the outer loops at time t = 0 .

A 120-V, series-wound dc motor draws 0.50 A from its power source when operating at full speed, and it draws 2.0 A when it starts. The resistance of the armature coils is 10 Ω . (a) What is the resistance of the field coils? (b) What is the back emf of the motor when it is running at full speed? (c) The motor operates at a different speed and draws 1.0 A from the source. What is the back emf in this case?

a. R f + R a = 120 V 2.0 A = 60 Ω , so R f = 50 Ω ;
b. I = ε s ε i R f + R a , ε i = 90 V ;
c. ε i = 60 V
