ABSTRACT

Up until this chapter, we have dealt with static electric and magnetic fields from the charge and current sources that are fixed in space. Now, let's consider the following situation. A conductor of length L moves through a region of a constant magnetic field with speed v x . We assume that the magnetic field is pointing out of the page along the https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> + z https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781003397496/c9619a4c-33ea-4757-afe2-97610a8ab4e4/content/math9_1.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> direction, and the motion is in the https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> + x https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781003397496/c9619a4c-33ea-4757-afe2-97610a8ab4e4/content/math9_2.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> direction. Although the following diagram does not show it, the two ends of the conductor are connected by a wire, forming a complete circuit with resistance R.
