A perfectly conducting U-shaped rail is spanned by a rod which is able to slide without friction. The rod has a mass m =1 .2 kg and a resistanceR =2 .0?. The rod and rail sit in a uniform magnetic ?eld of magnitude B =0 .4 T, which is out of the page as shown in the ?gure below. The long sections of the rail are separated by a distance W =0 .25 m. Rod
W F
Part A
(a) With reference to Faraday’s law, explain two fundamentally di?erent ways in which an emf can be generated around the circuit created by the rod and the rail. (b) A constant force~ F is applied to the rod to move it to the right at a speed of v =2 .2ms 1. What is the magnitude of the induced emf, and the direction of the induced current in the circuit?
(c) At a later time, the force is suddenly removed. Give a qualitative description of the subsequent motion of the rod, and explain your reasoning.
Part B (Advanced)
Suppose the magnetic ?eld was replaced by a uniform electric ?eld, also pointing out of the page. A force is applied to the rod to move it along the rails. Would there be a magnetic ?eld generated? Explain why, or why not.

A metal wire is resting on a U-shaped conducting rail, as shown in (Figure 1) . The rail is fixed in position, but the wire is free to move. A) If the magnetic field is increasing in strength, which way does the wire move? Select the correct answer and explanation. B) If the magnetic field is decreasing in strength, which way does the wire move? Select the correct answer and explanation.

A 9.0-cmcm -long wire is pulled along a U-shaped conducting rail in a perpendicular magnetic field. The total resistance of the wire and rail is 0.31 ΩΩ . Pulling the wire with a force of 1.1 NN causes 3.5 WW of power to be dissipated in the circuit. Part A What is the speed of the wire when pulled with 1.1 N? Express your answer in meters per second Part B What is the strength of the magnetic field? Express...

Suppose there are 100 firms in a perfectly competitive industry. Each firm has a U- shaped, long-run average cost curve that reaches a minimum of $10 at an output level of 8 units. Marginal costs are given by MC(q) = q + 2 and market demand is given by Q= 1000 - 20P a. Find the long-run equilibrium in this market and determine the consumer and producer surplus (in this case, the areas of the triangles). b. Suppose instead there...

Suppose a firm has a production technology which results in the commonly seen outcome of "U-shaped" Average Variable Cost (AVC), Average Total Cost (ATC) and Marginal Cost (MC). Further, suppose this firm sells its product in a market where the price of the good is externally set at P0. That is, the price is given to the firm and the firm cannot impact that price. Finally, for the entirety of this set of questions (7-9), assume we are in the...
