Find the current in the sliding rod AB (resistance = R) for the arrangement shown in figure. vecB is constant and is out of the paper. Parallel wires have no resistance, v is constant. Switch S is closed at time t = 0.

Answer»

Solution :When rod having length d is moving with velocity v perpendicular to MAGNETIC field EMF is induced between two end of rod.
Induced emf `epsilon`= Bvd
When switch is on at t = 0 time, current from inductor start increasing Suppose current in inductor is I at t = t time,
ACCORDING to Kirchhoff.s second law,
`epsilon=V_R+V_L`
`Bvd=IR+L (dI)/(dt)`
`therefore (dI)/(dt) +R/L I=(Bvd)/L`
Solution of this linear differential equation,
`I=(Bvd//L)/(R//L)+A "exp" (-R/L t)`
`I=(Bvd)/R +Ae^(-R/L t)`...(1)
Where A is constant that can be found by INITIAL condition , when t=0, I=0
`therefore 0=(Bvd)/R+A(1)`
`A=(Bvd)/R`
From equation (1),
`I=(Bvd)/R-(Bvd)/R e^(-R/L t)`
`I=(Bvd)/R(1-e^(-R/Lt))` which is required equation of current.
