Chapter 8, Problem 4C
The right-hand rule is a way to determine the direction of the magnetic field produced by moving charges. Imagine wrapping your right hand around the path of the charges so that the positive charges (or the current) flow from the little finger side of your fist to the thumb side (Figure 8.53). Then your fingers circle the path in the same direction as the magnetic field lines. Use this rule to verify the directions of the magnetic fields shown in Figures 8.8 and 8.10. How would you use the rule to find the direction of the magnetic field lines around a moving negative charge?

An iron (density ρ) rod with length L, cross sectional area A, spans across two parallel, metal train tracks. The tracks are connected to a power supply and have a potential ∆V across them. Between the tracks are placed magnets such that the B-field points directly upwards with strength B. What is the acceleration of the iron rod be the moment it starts from rest? What will acceleration be as a function of speed as it continues? Assume the contact is frictionless between the tracks and the rod so that no force of friction needs to be overcome. What will the top speed of the rod be under these conditions?
