Assertion : Free electrons always keep on moving in a conductor even then no magnetic force act on them in magnetic field unless a current is passed through it.

Reason : The average velocity of free electron is zero.

A metallic rod of mass per unit length $0.5\; kg\; m^{-1}$ is lying horizontally on a smooth inclined plane which makes an angle of $30^o$ with the horizontal. The rod is not allowed to slide down by flowing a current through it when a magnetic field of induction $0.25\; T$ is acting on it in the vertical direction. The current flowing in the rod to keep it stationary is.....$A$
