Question

Why a current carrying conductor kept in magnetic field experience force?

Answer 1

a current carrying conductor kept in magnetic field experience force because

it produces a magnetic field around it which interacts with the magnetic field in which it is held. 

Answer 2

Answer:

A current carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around it which interacts with the magnetic field in which it is held. Thus, it experiences a force. Direction of this force depends upon the direction of current and the magnetic field.
