The direction of force on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field cannot be reversed by reversing the direction of magnetic field. Is the given statement true/false?

Open in App

Solution

The force experience by a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field is :
$\to F = q (\to v \times \to B) = q v B s i n θ$
If the direction magnetic field $\to B$ is reversed then force direction will also get reversed.
So the given statement is false.
