Question 2. (13 points) The figure below shows a metallic bar of length 0.240 m, mass 0.100 kg and of negligible electrical resistance moving from left to right under the action of an applied force $F_{app}$. The conducting bar slides along two fixed parallel conducting rails, and a magnetic field points everywhere into the page. A terminating resistor completes a circuit loop through which current can flow.
Circle one of the underlined choices. As the rod moves rightward, the area of this loop (increases or decreases), leading to an (increasing or decreasing) magnetic flux. This causes an induced current to flow (CW or CCW), hence the current is (upward or downward) within the rod leading to a magnetic force $F_a$ toward (left or right). If the velocity is faster, the induced current will (increase, decreases or remain.)
If the rod moves at a constant velocity of 1.5m/s, and the B field is 5 T, the resistance is 20 ohm, please find (1) the induced emf, (2) the induced current, (3) the power consumed by the resistor, (4) the amount of applied force needed to maintain the constant velocity.
