A conducting rectangular loop of mass M, resistance R, and dimensions a × b is allowed to fall from rest through a uniform magnetic field which is perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The loop accelerates until it reaches a terminal speed (before the upper end enters the magnetic field). If a = 2.0 m, B = 6.0 T, R = 40 ?, and

M = 0.60 kg, what is the terminal speed?







a.

1.6 m/s



b.

20 m/s



c.

2.2 m/s



d.

26 m/s



e.

5.3 m/s
