Two long, smooth, horizontal metal rails, apart, lie in a uniform vertical magnetic field of . At one end they are joined by an uncharged capacitor of . A metal rod of mass lies across the rails, as in the figure, and is given a push so that it starts sliding away from the capacitor at . No other force acts along the rails. The rod and rails together have a resistance of . How much heat is produced in the circuit in all, by the time the current has stopped?
