A uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field are acting along the same direction in a certain region. If an electron is projected in the region with a velocity along the direction of fields, then electron will turn towards right of the direction of motion speed will decrease. speed will increase. will turn towards left of the direction of motion.

Figure shows a conducting rod PQ in contact with metal rails RP and SQ, which are 0.25 m apart in a uniform magnetic field of flux density 0.4T acting perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Ends R and S are connected through a 5 Omega resistance. What is the emf when the rod moves to the right with a velocity of 5ms^(-1) ? What is the magnitude and direction of the current through the 5 Omega resistance? If the rod PQ moves to the left with the same speed, what will be the new current and its direction?
