Question
The current generator $I_g$ shown in figure, sends a constant current i through the circuit. The wire ab has a length l and mass m and can slide on the smooth, horizontal rails connected to $I_g$. The entire system lies in a vertical magnetic field $B$. Find the velocity of the wire as a function of time.

Answer


Force on the wire $=\text{ilB}$
Acceleration $=\frac{\text{ilB}}{\text{m}}$
Velocity $=\frac{\text{ilBt}}{\text{m}}$
