A conducting rod whose length is ℓ = 1.60 m is placed on frictionless U-shaped metal rails that is connected to a lightbulb having a resistance of 4.00 Ω as shown in the figure. The rails and the rod are in the plane of the page. A constant uniform magnetic field of strength 2.20 T is applied perpendicular to and out of the paper. What is the magnitude of the external applied force needed to move the rod to the right with a constant speed of 6.00 m/s?

Using a site in Northern California, you repeat Stiling and Drake’s experiments in elevated and ambient CO2 chambers, and achieve similar results. However, you notice that for one species of herbivore, the mortality rate from predators and parasitoids is equal in the elevated and ambient chambers, while the mortality rate due to nutritional inadequacy is higher in elevated chambers. The herbivore species in question is native to Asia and has only recently arrived in the United States. What is a likely explanation for your findings?
