Question

On which factors does the force acting on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field depend?

Hint:

The force is maximum when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Answer 1

The force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field depends on the following factors:
The strength of the magnetic field \(B\),
The current \(I\) flowing through the conductor,
The length of the conductor \(L\) within the magnetic field,
The angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the current (denoted as \(\theta\)).
The force can be calculated using the formula: \[ F = BIL \sin \theta \]
