Question
A 0.12-kg metal rod carrying a current of current 4.1 A glides on two horizontal rails separation 6.3 m apart. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the rod and rails is 0.18 and the kinetic friction force is 0.212 N , what vertical magnetic field is required to keep the rod moving at a constant speed of 5.1 m/s

Answer:
The magnetic field is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the metal rod is
The current on the rod is
The distance of separation(equivalent to length of the rod ) is
The coefficient of kinetic friction is
The kinetic frictional force is
The constant speed is
Generally the magnetic force on the rod is mathematically represented as
For the rod to move with a constant velocity the magnetic force must be equal to the kinetic frictional force so
