Question
A conducting bar rolls down a slope made of conducting rails. The bottom ends of the rails are connected by another conducting rail as shown in the figure. There is a uniform magnetic field B pointing upward. Due to the bar's motion, there is an induced current in the bar-rail circuit. What is the direction of the magnetic force on the bar?
- Up along the slope
- Down the slope
- Towards left (horizontal)
- Towards right (horizontal)
The correct answer is: Towards right (horizontal)
