Q6.14(b)  Figure 6.20 shows a metal rod PQ  resting on the smooth rails AB and positioned between the poles of a permanent magnet. The rails, the rod, and the magnetic field are in three mutually perpendicular directions. A galvanometer G connects the rails through a switch K. Length of the rod=15cm ,B=0.50T, resistance of the closed loop containing the rod=9.0m\Omega . Assume the field to be uniform. Suppose K is open and the rod is moved with a speed of 12cm\: s^{-1} in the direction shown. Give the polarity and magnitude of the induced emf. Is there an excess charge built up at the ends of the rods when K is open? What if K is closed?

When key K is open, a charge is developed at the ends of the rods and on closing the key, this charge flows in the form of a current. Therefore, yes, the excess charge is maintained due to the continuous flow of the current in the circuit on closing key K.
