Question

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

Hint:

The force on a conductor in a magnetic field is given by F = BIL sinθ, where θ is the angle between current and field.

Answer 1

The force acting on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field depends on:
1. Strength of the Magnetic Field (B): A stronger field exerts more force.
2. Current (I): Higher current increases force.
3. Length of the Conductor (L): A longer conductor experiences more force.
4. Angle between Current and Field (θ): Maximum force when θ = 90°, and zero force when parallel.
