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 $30^{\circ}$ 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
