my question says "an aluminum airplane flying west, parallel to the ground, at 350 m/s. the earth's magnetic field produces a downward component of 8.30x10^-5T at that point. for the purposes if this question, treat the wing as if it was a conducting rod. A) What is the magnitude of the potential difference applied across the planes's wingspan of 22m? B) which wing would be negatively charged, the one on the south side of the plane or the one on the north side of the plane? support your answer with a diagram.
I got part A i used the formula V=BLv and i got an answer of 0.64V. but i'm having trouble with part B i don't even know how to begin. any help would be greatly apprecated. thanks. also i'm am having lots of trouble understanding elctromagnetic induction, so any hints on that would also be great thanks. :smile:
