First slide
Magnetic flux and induced emf
Question

A wire of length l, mass m, and resistance R slides without any friction down the parallel conducting rails of negligible resistance (figure). The rails are connected to
each other at the bottom by a resistanceless rail parallel to the wire so that the wire and the rails form a closed rectangular conducting loop. The plane of the rails makes
an angle θ with the horizontal and a uniform vertical magnetic field of induction B exists throughout the region. Find the steady state velocity of the wire.

Difficult
Solution

Bilcosθ=mgsinθ......(i)

Here induced emf across slider is e=(Bcosθ)lv

  Induced current I=BlvcosθR

From Eq. (i)

BlcosθBlvcosθR=mgsinθ

 v=mgRsinθB2l2cos2θ
