Suppose that no friction is involved in sliding the conducting bar of Fig. and that the horizontal arms of the circuit are very long. Hence, if the bar is given an initial push, it should continue moving at a constant velocity, and its movement generates electrical energy in the form of an induced emf, indefinitely. Is this a valid argument? If not, why not? How can we generate electrical energy without having to supply an equal amount of energy by other means?
