Question
**Transcription:**

(a) The figure below shows two parallel conducting rails 10.8 cm apart, connected by a resistor with resistance \( R_3 = 5.00 \, \Omega \). Two metal rods with resistances \( R_1 = 10.0 \, \Omega \) and \( R_2 = 15.0 \, \Omega \) slide along the rails with negligible friction. Rod \( R_1 \) slides to the left at constant speed \( v_1 = 4.00 \, \text{m/s} \), while rod \( R_2 \) slides at speed \( v_2 = 2.00 \, \text{m/s} \). The rods and rails are in the presence of a uniform magnetic field pointing into the page, perpendicular to the plane of the rails, with a magnitude of \( B_{\text{in}} = 0.100 \, \text{T} \).

*[Image Description: The diagram depicts two parallel conducting rails with two metal rods. Both rods are connected to a resistor \( R_3 \) and slide along the rails in opposite directions. The rods \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \) are labeled with their respective resistances and velocities. The magnetic field is shown with the symbols "X" indicating it points into the page. An arrow labeled \( v_1 \) points left along with the rod \( R_1 \), and an arrow labeled \( v_2 \) points right along with the rod \( R_2 \).]*

What are the magnitude (in µA) and direction of the current through resistor \( R_3 \)?
