A thin copper rod has a mass per unit length of 0.1 kg/m. What is the minimum current in the rod that would allow it to levitate above the ground in a magnetic field of magnitude 0.5 T? (g = 10.0 m/s²)
2.9 A 2.5 A 2.2 A 2.0 A 1.8 A

Expert Solution

The entire question isn't visible in the frame, so I'm assuing that the magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the current flow and solving the question accordingly. As the rod levitates above the ground in the presence of magnetic field, so the magnetic force must balance the weight of the rod and for magnetic force there must be a current. So by equating both of the forces we can easily calculate the current.

A uniform thin rod of length 0.4 m and mass 0.5 kg can rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis on the left end of the rod. The rod is at rest when a 10.0-g bullet traveling in the horizontal plane of the rod is fired into the right end of the rod at an angle 90o with the rod. The bullet lodges in the rod and the angular velocity of the rod is 10 rad/s immediately after...

Attached to each end of a thin steel rod of length 1.10 m and mass 6.60 kg is a small ball of mass 1.07 kg. The rod is constrained to rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its midpoint. At a certain instant, it is rotating at 39.0 rev/s. Because of friction, it slows to a stop in 32.0 s. Assuming a constant retarding torque due to friction, find the following. A) Angular Acceleration rad/sec^2 B) Retarding...
