For the device shown with a bar of length, L, and mass, m, of negligible resistance moving with an initial speed, vbar, across a region of space with a constant magnetic field directed out of the page. A resistor, R, is connected across the two conducting rails with negligible resistance. Which expression gives the best description of the distance, x, traveled by the bar before it stops?
