You have a summer job working at a company developing systems to safely lower large loads down ramps. Your team is investigating a magnetic system by modeling it in the laboratory. The safety system is a conducting bar that slides on two parallel conducting rails that run down the ramp. The bar is perpendicular to the rails and is in contact with them. At the bottom of the ramp, the two rails are connected together. The bar slides down the...

A 5.0 cm long, 53 grams, thin metal strip is allowed to slide along two parallel rails (that contact it at its ends). A constant 0.76 T magnetic field acts perpendicular to the two rails. If the strip is pulled with a speed of 17.8 m/s an the rails are connected to each other through a 20 omega resistor, then find the induced current in the circuit. Assume that the rod and rails have negligible resistance.
