Two long parallel conducting rails of zero resistance separated by a distance L are joined to a cell of emf E at one end. An external uniform magnetic field B is applied normal to the plane and into the plane of the rails as shown in the figure. A conducting bar of mass m and resistance R is placed across the rails. The bar can slide freely parallel to itself always remaining perpendicular to the rails.
