1.	What are the factors that govern the magnitude of force acting on a current carrying conductor which is freely suspended in a magnetic field?
Answer» The magnitude of force acting on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field depends on the following factors: (i) The force F is directly proportional to the strength of the current flowing in the conductor, i.e., F ∝ i. (ii) The force F is directly proportional to the strength of the magnetic field, i.e., F ∝ B; and (iii) The force F is directly proportional to the length of the conductor, i.e., F ∝ l.

Answer»

The magnitude of force acting on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field depends on the following factors:

(i) The force F is directly proportional to the strength of the current flowing in the conductor, i.e., F ∝ i.

(ii) The force F is directly proportional to the strength of the magnetic field, i.e., F ∝ B; and

(iii) The force F is directly proportional to the length of the conductor, i.e., F ∝ l.
