A metallic ring of mass m and radius l (ring being horizontal)

Question:

A metallic ring of mass m and radius l (ring being horizontal) is falling under gravity in a region having a magnetic field. If z is the vertical direction, the z-

component of the magnetic field is Bz = Bo (1+λ z). If R is the resistance of the ring and if the ring falls with a velocity v, find the energy lost in the resistance. If

the ring has reached a constant velocity, use the conservation of energy to determine v in terms of m, B, λ and acceleration due to gravity g.

Solution:

The required relation is given as:

v = mgR/B02π2λ2l4
