A conducting rod is free to slide on horizontal, frictionless rails separated by 2.0 m. At a particular time, the rod is sliding at 4.0 m/s to the right, as shown. A uniform magnetic field is directed into the page.

The south end of a bar magnet is pushed downward toward a wire loop in the plane of the paper. In which direction is the induced current, and which way is the induced magnetic field?

An LR circuit is prepared for an experiment, initially with its switch open. The time constant is that time after switch closure at which the energy stored in the inductor reaches approximately what percentage of its final value?

A square conducting loop is situated such that it is vertical, in the xz-plane. The Earth's gravitational field points downward (in the -z direction). The loop is dropped and maintains its orientation in the xz-plane. A magnetic field pointing in the +y direction exists and is uniform with respect to time, but it varies as a function of z: B_y(z) = B₀(10 m − z). The loop is dropped and allowed to fall under the influence of gravitation. You observe the loop from the +y direction (i.e., looking toward the −y direction). Which of the following occurs?
