Solution
Current carrying conductor:
A current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field experiences a force.
Such force is dependent on the following:
- The direction of current in the conductor.
- Strength of the external magnetic field.
- Length of the conductor.
When the direction of the electric current and the external magnetic field are perpendicular to each other, the strength of the force on the conductor is maximum or largest.
