Solution
None of these
The potential difference across the two ends is given by
`e=Bvl`
It is non-zero only
(i) if the rod is moving in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field `(vec v bot vec B)`
(ii) if the velocity of the rod is in the direction perpendicular to the length of the rod `(vec v bot vec l)`
(iii) if the magnetic field is perpendicular to the length of the rod `vec l bot vec B`
Thus, none of the above conditions is satisfied in the alternatives given.
