Question

What happens when a current carrying conductor is placed

a) parallel to the magnetic field

b) perpendicular to the magnetic field

c) neither parallel nor perpendicular to the magnetic field ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, a mechanical force is exerted on the conductor which can make the conductor move.

Answer 2

Answer:

a) The magnetic field will disappear when the current is stopped or when the current carrying wire is parallel to the magnetic field.

b)When the current carrying wire is placed perpendicular to the magnetic field then magnetic force acting on the conductor is maximum

c) nothing will happens
