A conducting rod with a length ℓ = 25 cm is placed on a U-shaped metal wire that is connected to a lightbulb having a resistance of 8.0 Ω as shown in the figure. The wire and the rod are in the plane of the page. A constant uniform magnetic field of strength 0.40 T is applied perpendicular to and into the paper. An external applied force moves the rod to the right with a constant speed of 6.0 m/s. What are the magnitude and direction of the induced current in the circuit?
