Q: A thin, 50.0-cm-long metal bar

A thin, 50.0-cm-long metal bar with mass 750 g rests on, but is not attached to, two metallic supports in a uniform 0.450-T magnetic field, as shown in Fig. E27.37. A battery and a 25.0-Ω...

Q: The magnetic force acting on a charged particle can never do work

The magnetic force acting on a charged particle can never do work because at every instant the force is perpendicular to the velocity. The torque exerted by a magnetic field can do work on a current l...

Q: A 0.250-m-long bar moves on parallel

A 0.250-m-long bar moves on parallel rails that are connected through a 6.00-Ω resistor, as shown in Fig. E29.33, so the apparatus makes a complete circuit. You can ignore the resi...

Q: Blood contains positive and negative ions and thus is a conductor.

Blood contains positive and negative ions and thus is a conductor. A blood vessel, therefore, can be viewed as an electrical wire. We can even picture the flowing blood as a series of parallel conduct...
