A spatially uniform magnetic field cannot exert a magnetic force on a particle in which of the following circumstances? There may be more than one correct statement. (a) The particle is charged. (b) The particle moves perpendicular to the magnetic field. (c) The particle moves parallel to the magnetic field. (d) The magnitude of the magnetic field changes with time. (e) The particle is at rest.

Question
Review. A rod of mass 0.720 kg and radius 6.00 cm rests on two parallel rails (Fig. P29.37) that are d 5 12.0 cm apart and L 5 45.0 cm long. The rod carries a current of I 5 48.0A in the direction shown and rolls along the rails without slipping. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.240T is directed perpendicular to the rod and the rails. If it starts from rest, what is the speed of the rod as it leaves the rails?
Solution
The first step in solving 29 problem number 37 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Review. A rod of mass 0.720 kg and radius 6.00 cm rests on two parallel rails (Fig. P29.37) that are d 5 12.0 cm apart and L 5 45.0 cm long. The rod carries a current of I 5 48.0A in the direction shown and rolls along the rails without slipping. A uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.240T is directed perpendicular to the rod and the rails. If it starts from rest, what is the speed of the rod as it leaves the rails?
From the textbook chapter Magnetic Fields you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
