Q.

A metal rod OA  of mass m and length r is kept rotating with a constant angular speeds ω with a uniform magnetic field B applied in horizontal direction. An inductor L of resistance R are connected through a switch S across points O and C on the ring over which rod's free end is rotating in vertical plane. 

Question Image

Neglect the resistance of the rod, ring and connecting wires. Obtain the value of the torque that is required to maintain the constant speed of the rotating rod. When current in the wire reaches its steady state. At t=0, switch is closed.

Detailed Solution

Induced emf, ε=12Br2ω

Under steady state 

i=εR=12Br2ωR

Force on rod due to this induced current, 

F=BIL=B×12Br2ωR×r    =12B2r3ωR

Torque due to this force =F×distance

=F×r2=14.B2r4ωR

Torque due to weight of rod at θ angular position

=mgcosθ×r2

So, total torque required =mgrcosθ2+14B2r4ωR
