If 75 MW of power at 45 kV (rms) arrives at a town from a generator via transmission lines of total resistance 3.0 Ω, calculate (a) the emf at the generator end of the lines, and (b) the fraction of the power generated that is wasted in the lines.

The moving rod in Fig. 29–12b is 12.0 cm long and is pulled at a speed of 15.0 cm/s. If the magnetic field is 0.650 T, calculate the emf developed.

(III) A simple generator has a square armature 6.0 cm on a side. The armature has 85 turns of 0.65-mm-diameter copper wire and rotates in a 0.65-T magnetic field. The generator is used to power a lightbulb rated at 12.0 V and 25.0 W. At what rate should the generator rotate to provide 12.0 V to the bulb? Consider the resistance of the wire on the armature.

Two parallel resistanceless rails are 32 cm apart on a 6.0° ramp. They are joined at the bottom by a 0.60-Ω resistor. At the top a copper bar of mass 0.040 kg (ignore its resistance) is laid across the rails. Assuming a vertical 0.65-T magnetic field, what is the terminal (steady) velocity of the bar as it slides frictionlessly down the rails?

(II) Part of a single rectangular loop of wire with dimensions shown in Fig. 29–49 is situated inside a region of uniform magnetic field of 0.650 T. The total resistance of the loop is 0.250 Ω. Calculate the force required to pull the loop from the field (to the right) at a constant velocity of 3.40 m/s. Neglect gravity.

(II) Suppose that the U-shaped conductor and connecting rod in Fig. 29–12a are oriented vertically (but still in contact) so that the rod is falling due to the gravitational force. Find the terminal speed of the rod if it has mass m = 3.6 grams, length 𝓁 = 18 cm, and resistance R = 0.0013 Ω. It is falling in a uniform horizontal field B = 0.080 T. Neglect the resistance of the U-shaped conductor, and friction.

(II) A conducting rod rests on two long frictionless parallel rails in a magnetic field $\overrightarrow{B}$ (⊥ to the rails and rod) as in Fig. 29–53. (a) If the rails are horizontal and the rod is given an initial push, will the rod travel at constant speed even though a magnetic field is present? (b) Suppose at t = 0, when the rod has speed v = v₀, the two rails are connected electrically by a wire from point a to point b. Assuming the rod has resistance R and the rails have negligible resistance, determine the speed of the rod as a function of time. Discuss your answer.

(III) Suppose a conducting rod (mass m, resistance R) rests on two frictionless and resistanceless parallel rails a distance ℓ apart in a uniform magnetic field $\overrightarrow{B}$ (⊥ to the rails and to the rod) as in Fig. 29–53. At t = 0, the rod is at rest and a source of emf is connected to the points a and b. Determine the speed of the rod as a function of time if (a) the source puts out a constant current I, (b) the source puts out a constant emf ε₀. (c) Does the rod reach a terminal speed in either case? If so, what is it?
