Question

A conducting bar of length L is free to slide on two parallel conducting rails as shown in the figure

Two resistors R₁ and R₂ are connected across the ends of the rails. There is a uniform magnetic field $\overrightarrow B $ pointing into the page. An external agent pulls the bar to the left at a constant speed v.

The correct statement about the directions of induced currents I₁ and I₂ flowing through R₁ and R₂ respectively is :

Both I₁ and I₂ are in clockwise direction

I₁ is in clockwise direction and I₂ is in anticlockwise direction

I₁ is in anticlockwise direction and I₂ is in clockwise direction

Both I₁ and I₂ are in anticlockwise direction
