A 066 kg copper rod rests on two horizontal rails 064 m


A 0.66 kg copper rod rests on two horizontal rails 0.64 m apart and carries a current of 50 A from one rail to the other. The coefficient of static friction among rod and rails is 0.46. What is the smallest magnetic field (not necessarily vertical) that would cause the rod to slide?

a) What is the magnitude of B?

b) What is the angle of B from the vertical? (deg)
