A current carrying conductor is placed in east-west direction. What will be the direction of the force experienced by this conductor due to earth's magnetic field?
How will this force affected on:-
1. Reversing the direction of flow of current.
2. Doubling the magnitude of current.

Solution

The direction of current is from east to west direction and the direction of magnetic field is from south to north direction. So, according to Fleming's left hand rule direction of force is downward.
1. Upward
2. No change.
