Question

26. 1 In which direction does the wire
shown in the diagram given below tend to move​

Answer 1

Answer:

From West to East

Answer 2

Given:

A current carrying wire has been placed in between the poles of magnet.

To find:

Which direction does the wire move ?

Solution:

First of all, we need to imagine this arrangement in three dimensional co-ordinate geometry, such that:

• Magnetic field Intensity (from N to S) will be directed along -X axis.

• Current carrying wire is along +Z axis.

Now, we know that force on the wire can be understood from Fleming's Left Hand Rule:

• If you place the middle finger along the current direction ( along +Z axis) and index finger along magnetic field (-X axis), you will see that :

• Thumb is directed downwards.

Hence , the wire experiences force downwards and will move downwards (along -Y axis).
