Question

A rectangular loop with a sliding connector of length l = 10 m is situated in a uniform magnetic field B = 2T perpendicular to the plane of loop. Resistance of connector is r=2Ω. Two resistance of 6Ω and 3Ω are connected as shown in figure. The external force required to keep the connector moving with a constant velocity v= 2 m/s is

Solution

Motional emf e = Bvl
e = (2) (2) (1) = 4 V
This sets as a cell of emf E = 4V and internal resistance r=2Ω. The simple circuit can be drawn as follows

Current through the connector
i=42+2=1A
Magnetic force on connector Fm=ilB
=(1)(1)(2)=2N (towards left)
Therefore, to keep the connector moving with a constant velocity a force of 2 N will have to be applied towards right.
