FIGURE 4 shows a metal rod of length 0.20 m carrying a current I is placed perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic field B of strength 0.6 T. The rod will move to the right because of magnetic force F. If the magnitude of magnetic force is 1.2 N, determine the magnitude and direction of current that flow in the rod.
