FORCE ON A CURRENT CARRYING WIRE

=Force on a Current Carrying Wire= When a conductor carrying a current is placed in a magnetic field, the conductor experiences a magnetic force. The direction of this force is always right angles to the plane containing both the conductor and the magnetic field, and is predicted by Fleming’s Left-Hand Rule.

Factors affecting magnetic force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field: Strength of the magnetic field Current flowing through the wire Length of the wire magnetic force F=BIlsinθ, where F is force acting on a current carrying conductor,B is magnetic flux density (magnetic field strength), I is magnitude of current flowing through the conductor, l is length of conductor, θ is angle that conductor makes with the magnetic field. When the conductor is perpendicular to the magnetic field, the force will be maximum. When it is parallel to the magnetic field, the force will be zero.
