A conducting rod of length l slides at constant velocity v on two parallel conducting rails, placed in a uniform and constant magnetic field B perpendicular to the plane of the rails as shown in Fig.3.49. A resistance R is connected between the two ends of the rails. (a) Idenify the cause which produces change in magnetic flux. (b) Identify the direction of current in the loop. ( c) Determine the emf induced in the loop. (d) Compute the electric power dissipated in the resistor. (e) Calcualte the mechenical power required to pull the rod at a constant velocity.
