Question: A 2 3 cm long metal rod is oriented horizontally in a uniform magnetic field with magnetic flux density of 3 0 2 G .

A 23 cm long metal rod is oriented horizontally in a uniform magnetic field with magnetic flux density of 302 G. The magnetic field is directed vertically down into the ground. A current of 11 A is passed through the rod. Neglect the magnetic field of earth at the location of this apparatus.
Determine the magnitude of magnetic force on the rod in the units of N.
Write your answer in decimal form with three digits to the right of the decimal point (e.g.5.374); do not write any units.
