a mettallic conductor is suspended perpendicular to the magnetic field of a horse shoe magnet. the conductor gets displaced towards left when a current is passed through it. what will happen to the displacement of the conductor if the
(A) current flowing through it is increased ?
(B) horse shoe magnet is replaced by another stronger horse shoe magnet?
(C) direction of current through it is reversed?

Solution

(A) The displacement of conductor will increase with the increase in current.
(B) The displacement of conductor will increase with the increase in magnetic strength.
(C) If the direction of current flowing through the conductor is reversed, its direction of displacement will also be reversed. It is now displaced towards the right.
