An aluminium airplane is flying west, parallel to the ground, at 350 m/s. The Earth's magnetic field produces a downward component of 8.0 x 105 T. For this question, treat the wing as a conducting rod. Which wing tip would be negatively charged, the wing on the north side or the south side of the plane? Support your answer with a diagram.
