Why the force due to current and magnetic field not lie in the same plane of current and magnetic field?
Answers
Answer:
Below are field lines for a magnetic field that lie in the plane of the picture, along with a very long ("infinite") straight wire. Suppose the wire is held parallel to the plane of the picture, as shown. (Assume it extends well past the edges of the figure.) Suppose instead that the wire were moved toward the left side of the page (LEFT). Would current through the wire flow to the left, to the right, or not at all? Answers: To the right. To the left No current would flow. Which reasoning below correctly supports your conclusion? A.The velocity of the wire and the magnetic field lie in different directions, so there is a non-zero force on the charges along the length of the wire. B.The velocity of the wire and the magnetic field both lie in the same plane, so the magnetic force on the charges in the wire is perpendicular to the plane of the picture. C. Any time a wire moves in the presence of a magnetic field, there will be a current induced within the wire. D.The velocity of the wire is in the same direction as the magnetic field so the magnetic force is zero. E.The velocity of the wire is in a direction that cuts across the magnetic field, so there is a non-zero force on the charges along the length of the wire.
Magnetic Field
The region associated with the current-carrying conductor or moving charge in which they can exert a magnetic force on other conductor is called a magnetic field.
The magnitude of the magnetic field due to a current-carrying wire can be determined.
