The conducting rod shown in Figure 30-52 has a length L and is being pulled along horizontal, frictionless, conducting rails at a constant velocity v. The rails are connected at one end with a metal strip. A uniform magnetic field B, directed out of the page, fills the region in which the rod moves. Assume that L = 10 cm, v = 7.7 m/s, and B = 1.9 T.
Here is the picture:

(a) What is the magnitude and direction of the emf induced in the rod? (Take up to be positive.)
I got: 1.463 which was correct.
(b)What is the magnitude and direction of the current in the conducting loop? (Take counterclockwise to be positive.) Assume that the resistance of the rod is 0.40 OHMS and that the resistance of the rails and metal strip is negligibly small.
I used
EMF - IR = 0;
I = EMF/R;
I = 1.463/.40 = 3.6575 which was wrong, any ideas were i messed up? Thanks.
