A copper rod of mass m slides under gravity on two smooth parallel rails, with separation $\displaystyle l$ and set at an angle of $\displaystyle \theta$ with the horizontal. At the bottom, rails are joined by a resistance R. There is a uniform magnetic field B normal to the plane of the rails, as shown in the figure. The terminal speed of the copper rod is :

Official answer
(3)
$\displaystyle \frac{m g R \sin \theta}{B^2 l^2}$
