A rod of m= 1.5 kg rests on two parallel rails that are L = 0.85 m apart. The rod carries a current going between the rails (bottom to top in the figure, into the page) with a magnitude / = 2.7 A. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.85 T pointing upward is applied to the region, as shown in the figure. The rod moves a distance d = 0.15 m along the rails in a given time period. Ignore the friction on the rails. I
