Question

What is the force acting on a current carrying wire which is placed in a magnetic field along the direction of the magnetic field?

• A. force acting on wire is positive
• B. force acting on wire is zero
• C. force acting on wire is negative
• D. force acting on wire is maximum

Answer 1

The correct option is B force acting on wire is zero

We know that charge moving in a magnetic field, in the direction of the magnetic field does not experience any force. So the force acting on wire is zero when it is kept along a magnetic field.
