A 120-V circuit in a house is equipped with a 20-A fuse that will b1ow if the current exceeds 20 A. What is the smallest resistance that can be plugged into the circuit without causing the fuse to blow?
The power dissipated in a resistor is given by P = V2/R, which means power decreases if resistance increases. Yet this power is also given by P = I2R, which means power increases if resistance increases. Explain why there is no contradiction here.

The distance between the rails is l, and the rod moves at constant speed v perpendicular to the uniform field B. At time zero, the moving red is next to the resistance R.
