Problem 3.288

A wire bent as a parabola y=ax2y=a x^{2} is located in a uniform magnetic field of induction BB, the vector B\mathbf{B} being perpendicular to the plane x,y.x, y . At the moment t=0t=0 a connector starts sliding translationwise from the parabola apex with a constant acceleration ww (Fig. 3.78). Find the emf of electromagnetic induction in the loop thus formed as a function of yy.
