A metal rod of mass m = 100 g and length L = 1.0 m rests on two fixed,
frictionless, conducting rails, as seen from above in the diagram. Switch S
is closed at time t = 0, allowing the battery Vb = 50 V to generate current
through the top rail, down through the rod, and then through the other rail
back to the battery. The wires have a combined resistance R = 2 and they
are immersed in a uniform magnetic field of strength B = 0.02 T pointing
downward (as shown).

A small, charged ball (m = 0.1 kg, q = 0.2 C) is connected to a 30.0 m string to make a
pendulum, as shown at right. The whole area around the pendulum is immersed in a
magnetic field that points into the plane of the page. The ball is pulled toward the east, as
shown below right, so that it rises a vertical distance of 75 cm, and then released. The

A 1.0 kg cart carries a rectangular wire loop at an initial speed of 10

m/s to the right when it enters a 50-cm wide, 15.0-T magnetic field
pointing into the plane of the page, as shown at right. The wire loop
is 30 cm wide, 25 cm tall, and a resistance of 1.0 . When the cart is
completely inside the magnetic field, it is moving at 5.78 m/s.
