Solution
Given :
Magnetic field in the space, B = `0.20 xx 10^-3 "T"`
Distance moved, `Δr = 50 "cm"`
We know ,
`B = -(dV)/(dl)`
⇒ `dV = ∫_(r_1)^(r^2) - vec B.dl`
Since the magnetic field is uniform, it can come out of the integration sign.
Here, the negative sign shows that the potential decreases.
