That's A Weird Frame

A conducting frame is composed by joining the curves f ( x ) = x 3 f(x) = x^{3} and the line y = 0 y = 0 .

The conducting frame has 0 resistance. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude B B Tesla is directed inwards as shown. A magical conducting rod parallel to y y -axis starts moving from the origin along the positive direction of x x -axis with intial velocity u m/s 1 u\text{ m/s}^{-1} .

This magical rod has special properties as follows:

1) It has a finite mass m kg m \text{ kg} .

2) Its resistance per unit length σ \sigma varies as σ = σ 0 ( 1 + x 4 ) Ω m \sigma = \sigma_{0}(1+x^{4}) \dfrac{\Omega}{m} where x x is the distance of the rod from the origin.

If the distance travelled by the rod till it comes to rest is L L
Find L \left \lfloor L \right \rfloor

Details :

Take m = 1 kg , B = 1 T , u = 2 m/s 1 , σ 0 = 1 Ω m m =1 \text{ kg}, B = 1\text{ T}, u = 2\text{ m/s}^{-1} ,\sigma_{0} = 1 \dfrac{\Omega}{m} .

When the rod is at a distance x x metres from the origin moving with velocity v, the area of the loop is,

A = 0 x z 3 d z |A| = \displaystyle \int_{0}^{x}z^{3}dz

The magnetic flux through the loop ϕ = B A = B A cos 0 = B 0 x z 3 d z \phi = B\cdot A = |B||A|\cos0 = B\cdot \displaystyle \int_{0}^{x}z^{3}dz
According to Faraday's laws an EMF is induced in the coil, E = d ϕ d t = B x 3 d x d t = B x 3 v E = -\dfrac{d\phi}{dt} = -Bx^{3}\dfrac{dx}{dt} = -Bx^{3}v V V

The instantaneous current through the coil, I = E R = B x 3 v σ x 3 = B v σ 0 ( 1 + x 4 ) A I = \dfrac{E}{R} = \dfrac{-Bx^{3}v}{\sigma x^{3}} = \dfrac{-Bv}{\sigma_{0}(1+x^{4})} A
A current carrying conductor moving in a magnetic field experiences a force,
F = i l B F = ilB
F = B v σ 0 ( 1 + x 4 ) x 3 B = B 2 v x 3 σ 0 ( 1 + x 4 ) N F = \dfrac{-Bv}{\sigma_{0}(1+x^{4})} \cdot x^{3} \cdot B = \dfrac{-B^{2}vx^{3}}{\sigma_{0}(1+x^{4})} N
m a = B 2 v x 3 σ 0 ( 1 + x 4 ) ma =\dfrac{-B^{2}vx^{3}}{\sigma_{0}(1+x^{4})}
v d v d x = B 2 v x 3 m σ 0 ( 1 + x 4 ) v\dfrac{dv}{dx} =\dfrac{-B^{2}vx^{3}}{m\sigma_{0}(1+x^{4})}

d v = B 2 x 3 m σ 0 ( 1 + x 4 ) d x -dv =\dfrac{B^{2}x^{3}}{m\sigma_{0}(1+x^{4})}dx

u 0 d v = 0 L B 2 4 x 3 4 m σ 0 ( 1 + x 4 ) d x \displaystyle \int_{u}^{0} -dv = \int_{0}^{L} \dfrac{B^{2}4x^{3}}{4m\sigma_{0}(1+x^{4})}dx
u = B 2 4 m σ 0 [ ln ( 1 + x 4 ) ] 0 L = B 2 4 m σ 0 ln ( 1 + L 4 ) u = \dfrac{B^{2}}{4m\sigma_{0}}\cdot \left[ \ln(1+x^{4}) \right ]_{0}^{L} =\dfrac{B^{2}}{4m\sigma_{0}}\cdot \ln(1+L^{4})

L 4 = e 4 m σ 0 u B 2 1 \therefore L^{4} = e^{\dfrac{4m\sigma_{0}u}{B^{2}}} -1
L = ( e 4 m σ 0 u B 2 1 ) 1 4 \therefore L =\left(e^{\dfrac{4m\sigma_{0}u}{B^{2}}} -1\right)^{\dfrac{1}{4}}

L = ( e 4 m σ 0 u B 2 1 ) 1 4 \left \lfloor L \right \rfloor = \left \lfloor \left(e^{\dfrac{4m\sigma_{0}u}{B^{2}}} -1\right)^{\dfrac{1}{4}} \right\rfloor

Substituting the values

L = ( e 4 1 1 2 1 2 1 ) 1 4 \therefore \left \lfloor L \right \rfloor = \left \lfloor \left(e^{\dfrac{4\cdot1\cdot1\cdot2}{1^{2}}} - 1\right)^{\dfrac{1}{4}} \right\rfloor
L = ( e 8 1 ) 1 4 = ( e 8 ) 1 4 = e 2 \therefore \left \lfloor L \right \rfloor = \left \lfloor \left(e^{8} - 1\right)^{\dfrac{1}{4}} \right\rfloor = \left \lfloor \left(e^{8}\right)^{\dfrac{1}{4}} \right\rfloor = \left \lfloor e^{2} \right \rfloor
L = 7.389 = 7 \therefore \left \lfloor L \right \rfloor = \left \lfloor 7.389 \right \rfloor = 7
