After the switch is put to position 2, there is a
current through the bar and thereby a magnetic
force acts on it, pushing it away from the capacitor.
The bar accelerates, its speed increases. Now, there
is an induced emf in the bar which is increasing
with increasing speed. At the instant induced emf
becomes equal to the potential difference across the
capacitor, the current will become zero. At this
instant speed of the bar is maximum. As per the
