POTD 308 A Tad too Slippery Creator: PhysicsMonster ~ A uniform conducting rigid rod of mass m and length £ stands vertically on a floor in the vertical plane as shown. All surfaces are frictionless. The acceleration due to gravity is g. If the lower end is now gently pushed away from the wall, the rod begins to slide. The walls and the floor is made of perfectly insulating material, unless specified otherwise. ‘A. For this part, a constant and uniform magnetic field B exists in space, pointing into the page. Find the electromotive force induced between the topmost point of the rod and a point P on it at a distance L/4 from the topmost end when the angle made by the rod with the floor is @ = 30°. Neglect the self-inductance of the system. B. In this part, the walls and the floor are made up of perfectly conducting material. There-isno-ecternal- magnetic-field-set-up-i-the-region. The rod possesses a resistance R and an inductance L. At t =0, there is no current passing through the rod - the rod is just kept on the floor and disturbed at the lowest point. What will be the angular velocity of the rod in the subsequent motion, as a function of the angle @ made by it with the floor? Also find the total heat dissipated in the process, from just after the initial disturbance to when it is completely in contact with the ground. © i(mB+ m(gy yor we wae) ~ oe & figg—n at 6-30, foxb av = eof. iret > [se Jee ser LerOvas fa -|Re to Scanned with CamScanner Co ee es ® [B00 (Uees*e— Cento) = ike Le —~G .
