explain why megnatic force experienced by a wire is maximum when the angle formed between current carrying wire and magnetic field is perpendicular?
Answers
Answer:
We can derive an expression for the magnetic force on a current by taking a sum of the magnetic forces on individual charges. (The forces add because they are in the same direction.) The force on an individual charge moving at the drift velocity vd is given by F = qvdB sin θ. Taking B to be uniform over a length of wire l and zero elsewhere, the total magnetic force on the wire is then F = (qvdB sin θ)(N), where N is the number of charge carriers in the section of wire of length l. Now, N = nV, where n is the number of charge carriers per unit volume and V is the volume of wire in the field. Noting that V = Al, where A is the cross-sectional area of the wire, then the force on the wire is F = (qvdB sin θ) (nAl). Gathering terms,
