MCQ
A copper rod of mass $m$ slides under gravity on two smooth parallel rails, with separation $l$ and set at an angle of $\theta$ with the horizontal. At the bottom, rails are joined by a resistance $R$. There is a uniform magnetic field $B$ normal to the plane of the rails, as shown in the figure. The terminal speed of the copper rod is
  • A
    $\frac{{mgR\cos \,\theta }}{{{B^2}{l^2}}}$
  • $\frac{{mgR\sin \,\theta }}{{{B^2}{l^2}}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{mgR\tan \,\theta }}{{{B^2}{l^2}}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{mgR\cot \,\theta }}{{{B^2}{l^2}}}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{{mgR\sin \,\theta }}{{{B^2}{l^2}}}$
b
From Faraday's law of electomagnetic induction,

$e=\frac{d \phi}{d t}=\frac{d(B A)}{l t}=\frac{d(B l l)}{d t}$

$ = \frac{{Bdl \times l}}{{dt}} = BVl$

Also, $F=i l B=\left(\frac{B V}{R}\right)\left(l^{2} B\right)=\frac{B^{2} l^{2} V}{R}$

At equilibrium

$m g \sin \theta=\frac{B^{2} I V}{R} \Rightarrow V=\frac{m g R \sin \theta}{B^{2} l^{2}}$
