Solution

The correct options are
B

Increase the current in the conductor.


C

Increasing the magnetic field.


The amount of force experienced by a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field depends on
(i) the current in the conductor
(ii) the strength of the magnetic field
(iii) the direction of the current with respect to the magnetic field.

Force F = B×i×L where B = strength of magnetic field, l = length of conductor, i = current passing

Since the length is constant for a given conductor, amount of force depends on the strength of the magnetic field and the current passing through the conductor.
