90. A rectangular copper loop of mass 100 g and resistance 0.2Ω is in a region of uniform magnetic field that is perpendicular to the area enclosed by the ring and horizontal to Earth’s surface (see below). The loop is let go from rest when it is at the edge of the nonzero magnetic field region.

(a) Find an expression for the speed when the loop just exits the region of uniform magnetic field.

(b) If it was let go at t=0t=0, what is the time when it exits the region of magnetic field for the following values: $$\displaystyle a=25cm,b=50cm,B=3T, g=9.8m/s^2$$? Assume that the magnetic field of the induced current is negligible compared to 3 T.

91. A metal bar of mass m slides without friction over two rails a distance D apart in the region that has a uniform magnetic field of magnitude $$\displaystyle B_0$$ and direction 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 $$\displaystyle v_0$$. It is found to slow down. How far does the bar go before coming to rest? Assume that the magnetic field of the induced current is negligible compared to $$\displaystyle B_0$$.

92. A time-dependent uniform magnetic field of magnitude B(t) is confined in a cylindrical region of radius R. A conducting rod of length 2D is placed in the region, as shown below. Show that the emf between the ends of the rod is given by $$\displaystyle \frac{dB}{dt}D\sqrt{R^2−D^2}$$. (Hint: To find the emf between the ends, we need to integrate the electric field from one end to the other. To find the electric field, use Faraday’s law as “Ampère’s law for E.”)
