Chapter : 2. Magnetic Effect of Current
Magnetic Force
Magnetic Force Force on a Current Carrying Wire due to Magnetic Field : Introduction : A current carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around it. When it is placed in a magnetic field, the two magnetic fields interact. A force acts on the conductor.
Force of an Conductor Expression : It is found by calculation that if the conductor of, length l be carrying a current I lying inside a magnetic field of intensity B and making an angle θ with it, the force acting on it is given by - F = Il B sinθ
