Question

If the current flowing in the current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field is increased, the magnitude of force will


Open in App
Solution

In a magnetic field, the amount of force a current-carrying conductor experiences is defined by

  1. current flowing through the conductor
  2. the magnetic field's strength
  3. The direction of the current with respect to the magnetic field and its displacement can be increased by raising the magnetic field.

Formula used

F=BILsinθ[whereF=froce,B=fluxdensity,I=current,L=lengthofconductor,θ=angleofthecurrentwithmagneticfield]

Analyzing the formula

According to the above formula, the current is directly proportional to force, and the higher the current, the greater the force on the conductor.

Hence, The magnitude of force increases as the current flowing in the current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field increases.
