Q.

A conducting rod of mass m and length l is suspended horizontally with the help of two  identical non- conducting springs each of stiffness k in presence of uniform horizontal  magnetic field of induction B. The ends of the rod are connected in a circuit consisting of an ideal battery of electromotive force E , a capacitance C and a switch as shown in  the figure. Intially the switch was at position 1 for a long time and the switch is thrown to  position 2 at t=0  . ( neglect resisatance and inductance in the circuit and Consider the  wires  connecting the rod extremely flexible and denote acceleration due to gravity by g.)

Detailed Solution

SOL: Since resistance of rod is negligible capacitor instantaneously discharge through the
rod leading to impulse at equilibrium position given mvmax=Bildt
mvmax=BlcE  i.e  vmax=Blcem
But vmax=Aw
blcem=A2km;  A=Blce2km
