8 (a) Explain what is meant by a magnetic field. (b) The apparatus shown in Fig. 8.1 is used in an experiment to find the magnetic flux density B between the poles of a horseshoe magnet. Assume the magnetic field is uniform between the poles of the magnet and zero elsewhere. [Figure 8.1] The rigid metal rod of length 300mm is fixed in position perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. The poles of the magnet are both 45mm long. There is a current in the rod that causes a force on the rod. The balance is used to determine the magnitude of the force. The variation with current I of the force F on the rod is shown in Fig. 8.2. [Figure 8.2]
