Motional Emf: A conducting rod whose length is ? = 1.60 m is placed on frictionless U-shaped metal rails that is connected to a lightbulb having a resistance of 4.00 ? as shown in the figure. The rails and the rod are in the plane of the page. A constant uniform magnetic field of strength 2.20 T is applied perpendicular to and out of the paper. An external applied force moves the rod to the right with a constant speed of 6.00 m/s. At what rate is energy dissipated in the lightbulb?

A. 60.0 W B. 121 W C. 21.2 W D. 112 W E. 11.5 W
