Figure shows, a rod of length L=12.0 cm that is forced to move at constant speed of v=5.00 m s-1 along the horizontal rails. The rod, rails and connecting strip at the right form a conducting loop. The rod has resistance 0.400 Ω and the rest of the loop has negligible resistance. A current i=100 A through the long straight wire at distance a=5.00 mm from the loop sets up a (non-uniform) magnetic field through the loop. Find the
(a) emf and
(b) current induced in the loop. (c) At what rate is thermal energy generated in the rod? (d) What is the magnitude of the force that must be applied to the rod to make it move at constant speed?
(e) At what rate does this force do work on the rod?

A -shaped conductor is located in a uniform magnetic field, perpendicular to the plane of the conductor, and varying with time at the rate dBdt=0.10 T s-1. A conducting connector starts moving with an acceleration a=10 cm s-2, along the parallel bars of the conductor. The length of the connector is equal to l=20 cm. Find the emf induced in the loop at t=2.0 s after the beginning of the motion, if at the moment t=0, the loop area and the magnetic induction are equal to zero. The inductance of the loop is to be neglected.

It is desired to measure the magnitude of field between the poles of a powerful loudspeaker magnet. A small flat search coil of area 2 cm2 with 25 closely wound turns, is positioned normal to the field direction, and then quickly snatched out of the region. Equivalently, one can give it a quick 90° turn to bring its plane parallel to the field direction. The total charge flown in coil ( measured by ballistic galvanometer connected to the coil) is 7.5 mC. The combined resistance of coil and galvanometer is 0.50 Ω.
