A straight, rigid copper rod of length 250 mm is suspended horizontally in a uniform horizontal magnetic field. The rod is aligned perpendicular to the magnetic field lines. During a calibration test, the current in the rod is increased by 1.2 A, which causes the downward magnetic force on the rod to increase by 4.5 × 10-2 N.
What is the magnetic flux density of the field?
