In the figure, a metal rod is forced to move with constant velocity along two parallel metal rails, connected with a strip of metal at one end. A magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.457 T points out of the page. (a) If the rails are separated by 19.8 cm and the speed of the rod is 62.4 cm/s, what is the magnitude of the emf generated in volts? (b) If the rod has a resistance of 26.0 Q and the rails and connector have negligible resistance, what is the current in amperes in the rod? (c) At what rate is energy being transferred to thermal energy?
