What is the force felt by the electrons and the nuclei in the rod when the external field described in the problem introduction is applied? (Ignore internal fields in the rod for the moment.) View Available Hint(s) What is the force felt by the electrons and the nuclei in the rod when the external field described in the problem introduction is applied? (Ignore internal fields in the rod for the moment.) Both electrons and nuclei experience a force to the right. The nuclei experience a force to the right and the electrons experience a force to the left. The electrons experience a force to the left but the nuclei experience no force. The electrons experience no force but the nuclei experience a force to the right.
