Inductive oscillation of a sliding rod on inclined rails

ID: inductive-oscillation-of-a-sliding-rod-on-inclined-rails

A vertical field linking a conducting loop on an incline contributes flux . For zero resistance and zero initial current, flux conservation gives . The uphill magnetic force component then makes the downhill coordinate oscillate about . Release from first stops at , not at the force-free point . The energy is stored in the inductor, not dissipated.
