Q6.14 (d)Figure 6.20 shows a metal rod resting on the smooth rails and positioned between the poles of a permanent magnet. The rails, the rod, and the magnetic field are in three mutual perpendicular directions. A galvanometer connects the rails through a switch . Length of the , , resistance of the closed loop containing the . Assume the field to be uniform. Suppose K is open and the rod is moved with a speed of in the direction shown. Give the polarity and magnitude of the induced emf.
(d) What is the retarding force on the rod when K is closed?
Induced emf = 9mV (calculated in a part of this question)
The resistance of loop with rod = 9
Induced Current
Now,'
Force on the rod
Hence retarding force when k is closed is .
