A lightbulb is attached to the right end of the rails. A spatially uniform magnetic field isoriented vertically (perpendicular to the horizontal plane of the rails and bar). Initially the bar isstationary. The strength of the magnetic field begins increasing in time at a constant rate, whichinduces a current through the bar, frame, and lightbulb.
