A metal rod X...

Question

A metal rod XY is pulled to the right with a velocity v through a magnetic field as shown in figure.
Which of the following statements is true?
A. The induced current flows from Y to X because X is at a higher potential.
B. The induced current flows from X to Y because X is at a higher potential.

Solution

Current always flows from higher potential to lower potential
So B is true
