Consider the system pictured in the figure below. A ℓ = 12-cm length of conductor of mass 29 g, free to move vertically, is placed between two thin, vertical conductors, and a uniform magnetic field acts perpendicular to the page. When a 5.0-A current is directed as shown in the figure, the horizontal wire moves upward at constant velocity in the presence of gravity. Either end of a horizontal bar of length ℓ, shaped in a loop at each end, is threaded onto one of two thin, vertical, parallel conductors, forming an H shape. A current of 5.0 A flows counterclockwise through the bottom part of the H shape.

Question

Consider the system pictured in the figure below. A ℓ = 12-cm length of conductor of mass 29 g, free to move vertically, is placed between two thin, vertical conductors, and a uniform magnetic field acts perpendicular to the page. When a 5.0-A current is directed as shown in the figure, the horizontal wire moves upward at constant velocity in the presence of gravity.

Either end of a horizontal bar of length ℓ, shaped in a loop at each end, is threaded onto one of two thin, vertical, parallel conductors, forming an H shape. A current of 5.0 A flows counterclockwise through the bottom part of the H shape.
(a) What forces act on the horizontal wire, and under what condition is the wire able to move upward at constant velocity?

This answer has not been graded yet.


(b) Find the magnitude and direction of the minimum magnetic field required to move the wire at constant speed.
magnitude      T
direction      ---Select--- up right into the page out of the page left down

(c) What happens if the magnetic field exceeds this minimum value? (The wire slides without friction on the two vertical conductors.)

Please help me on this one. LOL.
