Question
Consider a situation similar to that of the previous problem except that the ends of the rod slide on a pair of thick metallic rails laid parallel to the wire. At one end the rails are connected by resistor of resistance R.
  1. What force is needed to keep the rod sliding at a constant speed v?
  2. In this situation what is the current in the resistance R?
  3. Find the rate of heat developed in the resistor.
  4. Find the power delivered by external agent exerting the force on the rod.

Answer


  1. Emf produced due to the current carrying wire $=\frac{\mu_0\text{vi}}{2\pi}\text{In}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}+\text{l}}{2\text{x}-\text{l}}\Big)$
Let current produced in the rod $=\text{i}'=\frac{\mu_0\text{iv}}{2\pi\text{R}}\text{In}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}+\text{l}}{2\text{x}-\text{l}}\Big)$

Force on the wire considering a small portion dx at a distance x

$\text{dF}=\text{i}'\text{B}\text{l} $

$\Rightarrow\text{dF}=\frac{\mu_0\text{iv}}{2\pi\text{r}}\text{In}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}+\text{l}}{2\text{x}-\text{l}}\Big)\times\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\pi\text{x}}\times\text{dx}$

$\Rightarrow\text{dF}=\Big(\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\pi}\Big)^2\frac{\text{V}}{\text{R}}\text{In}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}+\text{l}}{2\text{x}-\text{l}}\Big)\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{x}}$

$\Rightarrow\text{F}=\Big(\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\pi}\Big)^2\frac{\text{V}}{\text{R}}\text{In}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}+\text{l}}{2\text{x}-\text{l}}\Big)\int\limits^{\text{x}+\frac{\text{t}}{2}}_{\text{x}-\frac{\text{t}}{2}}\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{x}}$

$=\Big(\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\pi}\Big)^2\frac{\text{V}}{\text{R}}\text{In}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}+\text{l}}{2\text{x}-\text{l}}\Big)\text{In}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}+\text{l}}{2\text{x}-\text{l}}\Big)$

$=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{R}}\Big[\frac{\mu_0\text{i}}{2\pi}\text{In}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}+\text{l}}{2\text{x}-\text{l}}\Big)\Big]^2$
  1. Current $=\frac{\mu_0\text{In}}{2\pi\text{R}}\text{In}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}+\text{l}}{2\text{x}-\text{l}}\Big)$
  2. Rate of heat developed $=\text{i}^2\text{R}$
$=\Big[\frac{\mu_0\text{iv}}{2\pi\text{R}}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}+\text{l}}{2\text{x}-\text{l}}\Big)\Big]^2\text{R}=\frac{1}{\text{R}}\Big[\frac{\mu_0\text{iv}}{2\pi}\text{In}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}+\text{l}}{2\text{x}-\text{l}}\Big)^2\Big]$
  1. Power developed in rate of heat developed $=\text{i}^2\text{R}$
$=\frac{1}{\text{R}}\Big[\frac{\mu_0\text{vi}}{2\pi}\text{In}\Big(\frac{2\text{x}+\text{l}}{2\text{x}-\text{l}}\Big)\Big]^2$

A particle is thrown over a triangle from one end of a horizontal base that grazing the vertex falls on the other end of the base. If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the base angles and $\theta$ the angle of projection; prove that: $\tan\theta=\tan\alpha+\tan\beta.$
The current in a conductor and the potential difference across its ends are measured by an ammeter and a voltmeter. The meters draw negligible currents. The ammeter is accurate but the voltmeter has a zero error (that is, it does not read zero when no potential difference is applied). Calculate the zero error if the readings for two different conditions are 1.75A, 14.4V and 2.75A, 22.4V.
