A horizontal rod 0.200 m long is mounted on a balance and carries a current. At the location of the rod there is a uniform horizontal magnetic field with magnitude 0.087 T and direction perpendicular to the rod. The magnetic force on the rod is measured by the balance and is found to be 0.22 N. What is the current?
