This problem is based on a suggestion from Neeraj Anand Badgujar

A conducting rod of mass m m slides along a pair of conducting rails which are separated by a distance D D . The rod is pulled rightward by a constant force F F . A series combination of a resistor ( R ) (R) and an inductor ( L ) (L) completes the circuit. There is an ambient magnetic flux density B B which points into the page.

Initially, the rod has zero speed and there is no current in the circuit. As the elapsed time approaches infinity, what is the rod's steady-state speed?

Details and Assumptions:
1) m = 1 m = 1
2) D = 2 D = 2
3) F = 10 F = 10
4) R = 1 R = 1
5) L = 1 L = 1
6) B = 5 B = 5
7) There is no gravity
8) Neglect the magnetic field contributions from the rails


The answer is 0.1.

I was struggling in this question from last 1hr because I was taken D = 1 D=1 instead of 2 2 . So it's a lesson for me to read the data carefully.
Now come to the question. The basic equations are B v D i R L d i d t = 0 BvD-iR-L\frac{di}{dt}=0 F B i D = m a F-BiD=ma After substituting correct value you will reach 10 10 i = v ˙ 10-10i=\dot{v} 10 v i = i ˙ 10v-i=\dot{i}
In steady state velocity is constant, Therefore v ˙ = 0 \dot{v}=0 and i ˙ = 0 \dot{i}=0
Now ,by solving equations you will reach v s t e a d y = 0.1 \textcolor{#20A900}{\large\boxed{v_{steady}=0.1}}
Edited : I have 2 more methods .
2 2 nd method : At steady state v = c o n s t a n t v=constant a = 0 a=0
Net force in rod is zero.
Let current be I I (which is constant at steady state) I = B D v R I =\frac{BDv}{R}
Magnetic force on rod F m = B I D = B 2 D 2 v R F_{m}= BID=\frac{B^{2}D^{2}v}{R}
At Equilibrium F e x t = F m F_{ext}=F_{m} B 2 D 2 v R = F \frac{B^{2}D^{2}v}{R}=F v = F R B 2 D 2 v= \frac{FR}{B^{2}D^{2}} v s t e a d y = 0.1 \textcolor{#20A900}{\large\boxed{v_{steady}=0.1}} (3) rd method:
Workdone by Force F F = Heat dissipated in resistor R R
As d I d T = 0 \textcolor{fuchsia}{\frac{dI}{dT}=0} . Hence inductor offers 0 0 resitance and hence energy stored in it becomes constant.
At this moment . Let the velocity of rod is v v
Power dissipated in resistor R R I 2 R = B 2 D 2 v 2 R I^{2}R=\frac{B^{2}D^{2}v^{2}}{R} . B 2 D 2 v 2 R = F v cos 0 ° \frac{B^{2}D^{2}v^{2}}{R}=Fv\cos0° v s t e a d y = 0.1 \textcolor{#20A900}{\large\boxed{v_{steady}=0.1}}
I hope you enjoyed all these 3 \textcolor{junglegreen}{3} methods.
