The conducting bar illustrated in the figure moves on two frictionless, parallel rails in the presence of a uniform magnetic field directed into the page. The bar has mass m and its length is e. The bar is given an initial velocity vi to the right and is released at t=0.Find the speed of the bar as a function of time after it is released.
