A rectangular loop with width L and a slide wire with mass m are as shown in Fig. 29.53. A uniform magnetic field B is directed perpendicular to the plane of the loop into the plane of the figure. The slide wire is given an initial speed of Vo and then released. There is no friction between the slide wire and the loop, and the resistance of the loop is negligible in comparison to the resistance R of the slide wire.(a) Obtain an expression for F, the magnitude of the force exerted on the wire while it is moving at speed v.(b) Show that the distance x that the wire moves before coming to rest is x =mvoR/a2B2.
