A metal bar with length , mass , and resistance is placed on frictionless metal rails that are inclined at an angle above the horizontal. The rails have negligible resistance. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude is directed downward as shown in Fig. we saw earlier. The bar is released from rest and slides down the rails. Is the direction of the current induced in the bar from to or from to ?
