A 15.0-g conducting rod of length 1.30 m is free to slide downward between two vertical rails

Question:

A 15.0-g conducting rod of length 1.30 m is free to slide downward between two vertical rails without friction. The rails are connected to an 8.00-Ω resistor, and the entire apparatus is placed in a 0.450-T uniform magnetic field. Ignore the resistance of the rod and rails.
R

(a) What is the terminal velocity of the rod?
(b) At this terminal velocity, compare the magnitude of the change in gravitational potential energy per second with the power dissipated in the resistor.
