A conductor rail consists of parallel rails supporting a conductor bar, a concept often explored in high school physics. When the rail is inclined at an angle θ from the horizontal, and a conductor bar is released on it, an induced electromotive force is generated, leading to a current in the circuit.
This results in Fleming's force acting on the conductor bar, which encounters resistance. Consequently, the bar either comes to a stop or maintains a uniform linear motion. Assignments frequently involve calculating the magnitude and direction of the induced electromotive force and the current in the circuit. Although these problems can be complex, understanding the interplay between the induction rail and the conductor bar is key to solving them accurately.
