Question

A metal rod of length 2 cm is placed on top of two parallel conducting tracks in a uniform perpendicular magnetic field of 0.15 T. 

1)If the wire is connected to a battery such that a current of 0.3 A flows through the wire, calculate the force on the rod? 

2)Sketch graphs showing how the current through the rod and its velocity would be expected to vary with time, explaining their shapes. '

3)How would these answers change if the magnetic field was aligned parallel to the metal rod?
