A metal bar of mass m slides without friction over two rails a distance D apart in the region that has a uniform magnetic held of magnitude
perpendicular to the rails (see below). The two rails are connected at one end to a resistor whose resistance is much larger than the resistance of the rails and the bar The bar is given an initial speed of vg. It is found to slow down.
How far does the bar go before coming to rest? Assume that the magnetic held of the induced current is negligible compared to

- Can children be used to generate electricity? Consider turning a swing into an electric generator by building it out of conducting material such that it forms a conducting loop, as shown in the schematic diagram below. L w The swing rotates around the line 1-4; the swinging motion is described by the time evolution of the angle between the swing and the vertical direction, o) = A sin(cor). For simplicity, we place the swing right on top of the magnetic North Pole, so that the magnetic field, which has magnitude B, points straight upwards. In your answers, enter o as "theta" and m as "omega" (without the quotation marks). You must indicate multiplication with an asterisk (). For example, A sin(ont) is entered as "A*sin(omega*t)". Derive an expression for the magnetic flux through the conducting loop as a function of time. Hence derive an expression for the voltage between points a and bas a function of time.
