An airplane with a total width of wings as 40 m, flies southbound at a location where the downward component of Earth's magnetic field is 1.3 x 10-4 T. In addition to that component Earth also has another component northbound of amount 0.47 x 10-4 T. Calculate the possible potential difference between the wing-tips if the plane moves forward with a speed 0.35 km/s. Which wingtip should be positively charged?
