A square frame projected towards an infinite current carrying wire.

A square frame of length l = 1 l=1 m, mass m = 1 m= 1 g, resistance R = 1 Ω R=1 \Omega is projected from a large distance towards a fixed infinitely long wire carrying current I = 1 I= 1 kAmp with a speed v 0 = 10 v_{0} = 10 m/s.

Let a a be the total distance of the left part of frame from wire in metres when the frame comes to rest.

Find a d x ( x ( 1 + x ) ) 2 \displaystyle \int_{a}^{\infty} \dfrac{dx}{(x(1+x))^2}


The answer is 250000.

The magnetic flux through the square frame when the left part is at a distance x x from wire is ϕ = B d A = 0 l μ 0 I 2 π r l d r = μ 0 I l 2 π ln ( 1 + l x ) \phi = \displaystyle \int B dA = \displaystyle \int_{0}^{l} \dfrac{\mu_{0} I}{2 \pi r} l dr = \dfrac{\mu_{0} I l}{2 \pi} \ln\bigg(1 + \frac{l}{x}\bigg)

Now, the induced emf is ϵ = d ϕ d t = μ 0 I 2 π x ( l + x ) v |\epsilon| = \bigg|\frac{d \phi}{dt}\bigg| = - \dfrac{\mu_{0} I}{2 \pi x(l+x)} v (Note that v = d x d t v = \frac{dx}{dt} is -ve)

Now, the induced anticlockwise current is i = ϵ R = μ 0 I 2 π R x ( l + x ) v i = \dfrac{|\epsilon|}{R} = -\dfrac{\mu_{0} I}{2 \pi R x(l+x)} v

Net force experienced = F = μ 0 I i 2 π ( 1 x 1 l + x ) F = \dfrac{\mu_{0} I i}{2 \pi} \bigg(\dfrac{1}{x} - \dfrac{1}{l+x}\bigg)

= ( μ 0 I l 2 π x ( l + x ) ) 2 v R = - \bigg(\dfrac{\mu_{0} I l}{2 \pi x(l+x) } \bigg)^2 \dfrac{v}{R}

m v d v d x = ( μ 0 I l 2 π x ( l + x ) ) 2 v R \Rightarrow m \dfrac{v dv}{dx} = -\bigg(\dfrac{\mu_{0} I l}{2 \pi x(l+x) } \bigg)^2 \dfrac{v}{R}

a d x ( x ( l + x ) ) 2 = ( 2 π μ 0 I l ) 2 m R v 0 0 d v \displaystyle \int_{\infty}^{a} \dfrac{dx}{(x(l+x))^2} = -\bigg(\dfrac{2 \pi}{\mu_{0} I l} \bigg)^2 m R \int_{-v_{0}}^{0} dv

Since, l = 1 m l=1m , we get a d x ( x ( 1 + x ) ) 2 = 250000 m 3 \displaystyle \int_{a}^{\infty} \dfrac{dx}{(x(1+x))^2} = 250000 m^{-3}

did it finally!!!!!
