In the figure shown below, a 250.0 g metal bar, 1.5 m long and itself having a resistance of 10.0 Ω, rests horizontally on conducting rails. The bar, which is free to slide along the rails, is in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 1.75 T. What is the acceleration of the bar when the switch S is closed? a.) 3.6 m/s2 b.) 5.1 m/s2 c.) 7.7 m/s2 d.) 9.5 m/s2 e.) none of these
