Solution

A wire of length l, Sliding on two parallel rails, with velocity $v$ .
$F_{m a g n e t} = I l B$
Refer above image,
the force generated by the magnetic field on wire,
the direction of this force is opposite to that of the motion of the road.
Velocity V is constant.
So, the acceleration of the wire should by zero.
This force produce an acceleration on the wire.
Hence acceleration is zero.
Therefore net force acting on the wire must be zero.
$F o r c e = 0$
