A square frame of length
m, mass
g, resistance
is projected from a large distance towards a fixed infinitely long wire carrying current
kAmp with a speed
m/s.
Let be the total distance of the left part of frame from wire in metres when the frame comes to rest.

The magnetic flux through the square frame when the left part is at a distance x from wire is ϕ = ∫ B d A = ∫ 0 l 2 π r μ 0 I l d r = 2 π μ 0 I l ln ( 1 + x l )
Now, the induced emf is ∣ ϵ ∣ = ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ d t d ϕ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ = − 2 π x ( l + x ) μ 0 I v (Note that v = d t d x is -ve)
Now, the induced anticlockwise current is i = R ∣ ϵ ∣ = − 2 π R x ( l + x ) μ 0 I v
Net force experienced = F = 2 π μ 0 I i ( x 1 − l + x 1 )
= − ( 2 π x ( l + x ) μ 0 I l ) 2 R v
⇒ m d x v d v = − ( 2 π x ( l + x ) μ 0 I l ) 2 R v
∫ ∞ a ( x ( l + x ) ) 2 d x = − ( μ 0 I l 2 π ) 2 m R ∫ − v 0 0 d v
Since, l = 1 m , we get ∫ a ∞ ( x ( 1 + x ) ) 2 d x = 2 5 0 0 0 0 m − 3
