Question

Transcribed Image Text:### Problem Description
A thin, 46.0 cm long metal bar with a mass of 750 g rests on, but is not attached to, two metallic supports in a uniform magnetic field with a magnitude of 0.440 T, as shown in the diagram. A battery and a resistor of resistance 24.0 Ω are connected in series to the supports.
#### Tasks
a) **Determine the Largest Battery Voltage**
- Calculate the maximum voltage the battery can have without breaking the circuit at the supports.
b) **Calculate the Initial Acceleration**
- Given the battery voltage from part (a), if the resistor suddenly gets partially short-circuited with its resistance dropping to 2.00 Ω, find the initial acceleration of the bar.
### Diagram Explanation
The diagram represents an electrical circuit where a battery with voltage \( V \) and a resistor \( R \) are connected in series with a metal bar resting between two supports. The magnetic field \( \vec{B} \) is uniform and directed perpendicular to the plane in which the bar can move. The circuit completes through the supports.
- The metal bar acts as a conductor in the magnetic field, generating a Lorentz force when current flows through it.
- The setup illustrates electromagnetic induction principles, where changing magnetic fields can induce electrical currents and forces on the conductor.
