FIGURE P30.59 shows a U-shaped conducting rail that is oriented vertically in a horizontal magnetic field. The rail has no electric resistance and does not move. A slide wire with mass m and resistance R can slide up and down without friction while maintaining electrical contact with the rail. The slide wire is released from rest.
a. Show that the slide wire reaches a terminal speed vterm, and find an expression for vterm.b. Determine the value of vterm if l = 20 cm, m = 10 g, R = 0.10 Ω, and B = 0.50 T.
