1.	(a) Mention the factors on which the direction of force experienced by a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field depend. (b) Under what condition is the force experienced by a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field maximum? (c) A proton beam is moving along the direction of a magnetic field. What force is acting on proton beam?
Answer» (a) The direction of force experienced by the current-carrying conductor depends on: (i) direction of current and (ii)direction of magnetic field. (b) When the direction of current is at right angle to the direction of magnetic field, the force is maximum. (c) No force is experienced by the proton beam. As proton beam is moving along the direction of magnetic field.
