$A$ wire $cd$ of length $l$ and mass $m$ is sliding without friction on conducting rails $ax$ and $by$ as shown. The vertical rails are connected to each other with a resistance $R$ between $a$ and $b$. $A$ uniform magnetic field $B$ is applied perpendicular to the plane $abcd$ such that $cd$ moves with a constant velocity $v$. Find the value of $v$.

The figure shows a metal rod $PQ$ resting on the smooth rails $AB$ and positioned between the poles of a permanent magnet. The rails,the rod,and the magnetic field are in three mutually perpendicular directions. $A$ galvanometer $G$ connects the rails through a switch $K$. Length of the rod $= 15 \; cm$,$B = 0.50 \; T$,resistance of the closed loop containing the rod $= 9.0 \; m\Omega$. Assume the field to be uniform.
