A 10.0-cm-long wire is pulled along a U-shaped conducting rail in a perpendicular magnetic field. The total resistance of the wire and rail is 0.300 Ω . Pulling the wire at a steady speed of 4.00 m/s causes 3.90 W of power to be dissipated in the circuit.

Question:

What are the magnitudes of the  pulling force and the magnetic field

The magnetic field strength is 2.7 T

The pulling force is 0.975 N

Explanation:

Here we have;

Length of wire, l = 10.0 cm = 0.1 m

Resistance of wire, R = 0.300 Ω

Speed of wire, v = 4.00 m/s

Power dissipated = 3.90 W

Based on the given data, we apply the relation;

..............(1)

Where:

B = Magnetic field strength

I = Current

Since P = I²R, we have;

3.9 = I²·0.300Ω

∴ I² = 3.9/0.300 = 13

From which I = √13

Substituting the value of I in equation (1) above, we have;

Therefore;

The magnitude of the pulling force is given by the following relation;

The pulling force = 0.975 N.

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
