$A$ horizontal wire is free to slide on the vertical rails of a conducting frame as shown in the figure. The wire has a mass $m$ and length $l$,and the resistance of the circuit is $R$. If a uniform magnetic field $B$ is directed perpendicular to the frame,find the terminal speed of the wire as it falls under the force of gravity.

  • A
    $\frac{mgR}{B^2l^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{mg}{Bl}$
  • C
    $\frac{2mgR}{B^2l^2}$
  • D
    $0$
