A conducting bar slides without friction on two parallel horizontal rails that are 50 cm apart and connected by a wire at one end. The resistance of the bar and the rails is constant and equal to 0.10 Ω. A uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the rails. A 0.080-N force parallel to the rails is required to keep the bar moving at a constant speed of 0.50 m/s. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.25 T

Explanation:

F = Force required to keep the bar moving = 0.080 N

B = magnitude of magnetic field = ?

L = length of the bar = 50 cm = 0.50 m

v = speed of the bar = 0.50 m/s

R = resistance of the bar =0.10 Ω

Force is given as

[tex]F = \frac{B^{2}L^{2}v}{R}[/tex]

[tex]0.08 = \frac{B^{2}(0.50)^{2}(0.50)}{0.10}[/tex]

B = 0.25 T
