A conducting wire XY of mass m and neglibile resistance slides smoothly on two parallel conducting wires as shown in figure. The closed circuit has a resistance R due to AC. AB and CD are perfect conductors. There is a magnetic field vecB=B(t)hatk (i) Write down equation for the acceleration of the wire XY. (ii) If vecB is independent of time, obtain v(t), assuming v (0) =u_0. (iii) For (ii), show that the decrease in kinetic energy of XY equals the heat lost in.

Solution :Suppose two parallel wire are at y = 0 and y = l
Suppose at t = 0 time wire xy is at x = 0 and at t = t time it is at x = x place.
(i) Magnetic flux linked with closed loop,
`phi=vecB.vecA=BA cos 0=BA`
=[B(t)](lx)
Induced emf,
`EPSILON=-(dphi)/(dt)`
`epsilon=-d/(dt)[B(t)lx]`
`=-l[B(t)(dx)/(dt)+x d/(dt)B(t)]`
`epsilon=-lB(t)v-lx(DB(t))/(dt)`....(1)
(Motional emf) (emf DUE to variation in magnetic field)
Magnetic force on wire ,
F=IlB(t)
`=epsilon/R lB(t) [ because I=epsilon/R]`
`=[-lB(t)v-lx(dB(t))/(dt)]l/R B(t)`
`ma=-l^2/R B(t) [vB(t)+x(dB(t))/(dt)]`
Acceleration of wire,
`a=-(l^2B(t))/(mR)[vB(t)+x(dB(t))/(dt)]` ...(2)
(II) If magnetic field does not change with time `(dB(t))/(dt)=0`
`therefore a=(-l^2B^2)/(mR)v`
`therefore (dv)/(dt)=(-l^2B^2)/(mR)v`
`therefore 1/v dv=(-B^2l^2)/(mR)dt`
Taking integration and at t=0, v=`u_0`
`int_(u_0)^v 1/v dv = int_0^t (-B^2l^2)/(mR)dt`
`[ln v]_(u_0)^v =(-B^2l^2)/(mR)[t]_0^t`
`ln v- m u_0=(-B^2l^2t)/(mR)`
`ln v/u_0=e^(-(B^2l^2)/(mR)t)`
`v=u_0 e^(-(B^2l^2)/(mR)t)`
`v(t)=u_0 exp (-(B^2l^2t)/(mR))`...(3)
(iii) Change in kinetic energy of wire,
`DeltaK=1/2m u_0^2 -1/2 mv^2`
`=1/2m u_0^2-1/2 m u_0^2 e^(-(2B^2l^2t)/(mR))`
`DeltaK=1/2 m u_0^2[1-e^(-(2B^2l^2t)/(mR))]`...(4)
Power dissipated in the terms of heat,
`P=I^2R`
`(dH)/(dt)=I^2R = epsilon^2/R`
`dH=epsilon^2/R dt`
`H=int_0^t epsilon^2/R dt`...(5)
If B is constant then from equation (1),
`epsilon=-B vl`
`H=int_0^t (B^2v^2l^2)/R dt`
`H=(B^2l^2)/R int_0^t v^2dt`
`=(B^2l^2)/R int_0^t u_0^2 e^(-(2B^2l^2t)/(mR))dt`
`=(B^2l^2)/R u_0^2([e^(-(2B^2l^2t)/(mR))]_0^t)/(((-2B^2l^2)/(mR)))`
`=-m/2u_0^2[e^(-(2B^2l^2t)/(mR)-1)]`
`H=1/2 m u_0^2 [1-e^(-(2B^2l^2t)/(mR))]`...(6)
From equation (5) and (6) it is clear that change in kinetic energy is equal to produced heat energy.
