Exercise 4
Force needed to pull a rod
Theory used: Rod launched on railsEnergy balance
A rod long is pulled without friction at constant velocity on two rails closed by a resistor of , in a uniform field of perpendicular to the plane of the rails. Neglecting the other resistances and self-induction, compute the force to be applied to the rod and the power it develops.
