A conducting bar can slide in a two conducting rails. A uniform magnetic field is directed perpendicular to the plane. A battery is to be connected to the two rails so that when the switch is closed, current will flow through the bar and cause a magnetic force to push the bar to the right. In which orientation should the battery be placed in the circuit? Kindly give a brief explanation.
