Consider the circuit shown in Fig. E29.31, but with the bar moving to the right with speed v. As in Exercise 29.31, the bar has length 0.360 m, R = 45.0 Ω, and B = 0.650 T. (a) Is the induced current in the circuit clockwise or counterclockwise? (b) At an instant when the 45.0-Ω resistor is dissipating electrical energy at a rate of 0.840 J/s, what is the speed of the bar?

29.31 . A 0.360-m-long metal bar is pulled to the left by an applied force F. The bar rides on parallel metal rails connected through a 45.0-Ω resistor, as shown in Fig. E29.31, so the apparatus makes a complete circuit. You can ignore the resistance of the bar and rails. The circuit is in a uniform 0.650-T magnetic field that is directed out of the plane of the figure. At the instant when the bar is moving to the left at 5.90 m/s, (a) is the induced current in the circuit clockwise or counterclockwise and (b) what is the rate at which the applied force is doing work on the bar?
