31. A rectangular wire frame with dimensions a×b and

resistance R is pulled into a region of magnetic field
𝒕
given by B = 𝑩𝟎 (1 − )that is perpendicular to the plane of
𝝉
the frame (pointing into the diagram). The magnetic
field is uniform (in space) but varies with time. When
the frame enters the region of the magnetic field at t =
0 seconds, it has an initial velocity of 3 m/s. It is pulled
into the region in such a way that there is no current in
the frame. Find the speed of the frame at the time

32. A circular ring of radius 2 meters and mass 10

grams has a charge of 0.05 C distributed uniformly on
it. The ring is initially at rest. A uniform magnetic field
of initial value B0 = 0.2 T, perpendicular to the plane of
the ring, exists only in the region enclosed by the ring.
The magnetic field is then switched off and decreases to
zero. Assuming that the ring is free to rotate about its
center, find the angular velocity of the ring.

33. A circular uniform disc of radius r = 2m,

mass M = 2kg and uniform charge
distribution σ = 2C/m2 is initially at rest. A uniform
magnetic field of initial value 𝑩𝟎 = 0.2 T, perpendicular
to the plane of the disc, exists in a circular region of
radius a=1m, concentric with the disc. The magnetic

to rotate about its center, find the angular velocity of
the disc.
