When two conducting bars are placed perpendicular to parallel conducting rails and a vertical magnetic field is applied, the bars will move closer together. The distance between the bars is initially l. Due to induced currents in the bars and rails, magnetic forces act to reduce the distance between the bars. It can be shown through equations accounting for the forces, currents, and magnetic flux that the new equilibrium distance between the bars is l/2. Dimensional analysis also suggests the final distance
