Important Questions on Electromagnetic Induction

A conducting rod PQ of length and resistance rests on two smooth parallel rails AA' and CC' of negligible resistance. It can slide on the rails and the arrangement is positioned between poles of a permanent magnet producing uniform magnetic field . The rails, the rod and the magnetic field are in three mutually perpendicular directions as shown in the figure. If the ends A and C of the rails are short-circuited, find the external force required to move the rod with uniform velocity .
