Answer

$E = (-0.600~N/C)~\hat{k}$

Work Step by Step

The magnetic field is in the +y direction. By the right hand rule, as the solid moves in the +x direction, there is a force on the electrons that pushes them in the -z direction. The potential difference is $V = vBd_z$ We can find the electric field: $V = vBd_z$ $\frac{V}{d_z} = vB$ $E = vB$ $E = (20.0~m/s)(30.0~mT)$ $E = (-0.600~N/C)~\hat{k}$
