Statement-I: A resistance R is connected between the two ends of the parallel smooth conducting rails. A conducting rod lies on these fixed horizontal rails and a uniform constant magnetic field B exists perpendicular to the plane of the rails as shown in the figure. If the rod is given a velocity v and released as shown in figure, it will stop after some time. The total work done by magnetic field is negative.

Statement-II: If force acts opposite to direction of velocity its work done is negative.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
Magnetic field cannot do work, hence statement-I is false.
