Q.

Consider parallel conducting rails separated by a distance l. There exists a uniform magnetic field B perpendicular to the plane of the rails as shown in figure. Two conducting wires each of length l are placed so as to slide on parallel conducting rails. One of the wires is given a velocity v0 parallel to the rails. Till steady state is achieved, loss in kinetic energy of the system is

Detailed Solution

In steady state, velocity of both wires will become same.2mv=mv0⇒v=v0/2Loss in KE =12mv02-212mv2=14mv02
