Question

When a current carrying conductor is kept in a magnetic field, state the position when maximum force acts on it

Answer 1

Dear Student,
When a current carrying conductor is kept in a magnetic field the force experienced by the conductor is given by the formula-
Force on the conductor = $\overrightarrow{F}$
$$\begin{gathered} \overrightarrow{F}=I(\overrightarrow{B}\times \overrightarrow{L}) \\ \overrightarrow{F}=BIL\sin \theta \\ Theforcewillbemaximumwhen\sin \theta =1or\theta ={90}^0. \end{gathered}$$
Here I= current in the conductor, B = external magnetic field, L = length of the conductor.
Regards.
