Correct answer: C

  1. Forces along the incline

The rod slides down the smooth rails, which are inclined at angle θ\thetaθ to the horizontal.

So the component of gravity along the rails is Fg=mgsin⁡θ.F_g = mg\sin\theta.Fg​=mgsinθ.

  1. Motional emf induced in the rod

If the rod moves with speed vvv along the rails in a magnetic field BBB normal to the plane of the rails, then the motional emf across the rod is E=Blv.\mathcal E = Blv.E=Blv.

  1. Current in the circuit

The rails and rod form a closed circuit with resistance RRR, so the induced current is I=ER=BlvR.I = \frac{\mathcal E}{R} = \frac{Blv}{R}.I=RE​=RBlv​.

  1. Magnetic force opposing motion

The magnetic force on a current-carrying rod of length lll in field BBB is Fm=BIl.F_m = BIl.Fm​=BIl.

Substituting III, Fm=B(BlvR)l=B2l2vR.F_m = B\left(\frac{Blv}{R}\right)l = \frac{B^2l^2v}{R}.Fm​=B(RBlv​)l=RB2l2v​.

This force acts up the incline, opposing the downward motion.

  1. Condition for terminal speed

At terminal speed, acceleration becomes zero, so net force along the incline is zero: mgsin⁡θ=B2l2vtR.mg\sin\theta = \frac{B^2l^2v_t}{R}.mgsinθ=RB2l2vt​​.

Solving for vtv_tvt​, vt=mgRsin⁡θB2l2.v_t = \frac{mgR\sin\theta}{B^2l^2}.vt​=B2l2mgRsinθ​.

  1. Matching with options

This corresponds to mgRsin⁡θB2l2\boxed{\frac{mgR\sin\theta}{B^2l^2}}B2l2mgRsinθ​​ which is Option C.
