Question

When is the force exerted on a current carrying conductor (i) maximum and (ii) minimum? (MEEC)

Answer 1

1)Force exerted is maximum when,the current carrying conductor is held perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field.

2)Force exerted is minimum when,the current carrying conductor is held parallel to the direction of the magnetic field

Answer 2

1)perpendicular to magnetic field

2) parallel to magnetic field
