Question

A metallic rod of mass per unit length 0.5 kg m - 1 is lying horizontally on a smooth inclined plane which makes an angle 30 o with the horizontal. The rod is not allowed to slide down by flowing a current through it when a magnetic field of induction 0 . 25 T is acting on it in the vertical direction. The current flowing in the rod to keep it stationary is
