Why and when does a current carrying conductor kept in a magnetic field experience force ? List the factor on which direction of this force depends ? |
|
Answer» Solution :The DRIFTING of free electrons of a conductor in a definite direction cause the current to flow through it. When such conduct is placed in a uniform MAGNETIC FIELD each drifting electrons of a conductor experience a magnetic FORCE. This force is collectively experience by a conductor as a whole. Hence a current carrying conductor kept in a magnetic field experiences a force. The direction of magnetic force depends on (i) Direction of current through the conductor and (ii) Direction of magnetic field, |
