Homework Statement
As shown in the attached figure, two rails of conducting wire,M and N, run parallel to each other on a horizontal plane and are separated by distance l. The rails are in a magnetic field of magnetic flux density B that is in the vertically upward direction. An electrically conductive bar of mass m is placed on the rails, perpendicular to their length. When a battery of electromotive force E and negligible internal resistance is connected to the rails, the bar begins to slide along the top of the rails. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the bar and the rails is μ'. The part of the bar between the rails has electrical resistance R. The electrical resistance of the rails is negligible.
The bar undergoes linear uniform motion with a speed of v, determine v.
Homework Equations
E = [itex]\frac{I}{R}[/itex] ...(1)
E = [itex]\frac{ΔBA}{Δt}[/itex] = Blv ...(2)
ƩFx=0 (bar undergoes linear uniform motion with a speed of v) ...(3)
FB=IlB ...(4)
f = μ'N ...(5)
ƩFy=0 ..(6)
The Attempt at a Solution
I wrote the FBD as seen in attached figure, thus (3) becomes
ƩFx=0
FB=f
substitute (4) and (5); IlB=μ'N ... (7)
substitute (1) for I and from (6) I know N=mg
So, (7) is ElB = μ'mgR ..(8)
Using (2); B2l2v=μ'mgR
∴v =[itex]\frac{μ'mg}{(Bl)^2}[/itex]
But I think I miss something. Does anybody tell me what?? I try to find it because my answer was wrong
I appreciate all kinds of any help :!)
Thankss
