Magnetic Induction and Resistance

A metal rod OA of mass m m and length r r is kept rotating with a constant angular speed ω \omega in a vertical plane
about a horizontal axis at the end O. The free end A is arranged to slide without friction along a fixed conducting circular ring in the same plane as that of rotation. A uniform and constant magnetic induction B \vec{B} is applied perpendicular and into the plane of rotation as shown in figure. An inductor L L and an external resistance R R are connected through a switch S S between the point O O and a point C C on the ring to form an electrical circuit. Neglect the resistance of the ring and the rod. Initially, the switch is open.

Obtain an expression for the current as a function of time after switch S is closed.
If your answer comes in the form of I = B ω r α ( 1 e ( β R t L ) ) γ R I=\frac{B \omega r^{\alpha}(1-e^{(\frac{\beta Rt}{L})})}{\gamma R}

Type your answer as α + β + γ \alpha+\beta+\gamma

Bonus:
Obtain the time dependence of the torque required to maintain the constant angular speed, given that the rod O A OA was along the positive X X axis at t = 0 t=0 .


The answer is 3.

d I d t + R L I = B r 2 ω 2 L \dfrac {dI}{dt}+\dfrac {R}{L}I=\dfrac {Br^2\omega}{2L}

I = B r 2 ω 2 R ( 1 e R t L ) \implies I=\dfrac {Br^2\omega}{2R}\left (1-e^{-\frac{Rt}{L}}\right )

So α = 2 , β = 1 , γ = 2 α=2,β=-1,\gamma=2 , and

α + β + γ = 3 α+β+\gamma=\boxed 3 .
