Now consider a much simpler scenario in which the magnetic field B→ and the velocity v→ of the metal bar are both constant, and the metal rails have been replaced by nonconducting wooden rails (which introduces a significant amount of friction, overcome by the external pulling force). (i) [3 pts] What is the magnetic force (direction and magnitude) on the metal bar in this scenario? (ii) [5 pts] What is the magnetic force (direction and magnitude) on an electron in the metal bar in this scenario? (iii) [5 pts] What is the electric field (direction and magnitude) in the metal bar in this scenario?
