Refer to Prob. 7.11 (and use the result of Prob. 5.42): How long does is take a falling circular ring (radius a, mass m, resistance R) to cross the bottom of the magnetic field B, at its (changing) terminal velocity?
Refer Prob. 7.11
A square loop is cut out of a thick sheet of aluminum. It is then placed so that the top portion is in a uniform magnetic field B, and is allowed to fall under gravity (Fig. 7.20). (In the diagram, shading indicates the field region; B points into the page.) If the magnetic field is 1 T (a pretty standard laboratory field), find the terminal velocity of the loop (in m/s). Find the velocity of the loop as a function of time. How long does it take (in seconds) to reach, say, 90% of the terminal velocity? What would happen if you cut a tiny slit in the ring, breaking the circuit? [Note: The dimensions of the loop cancel out; determine the actual numbers, in the units indicated.]
