A conductor carrying a current I has length L. when it is placed in a magnetic field, B at 90° it experiences a force
Correct answer: A. BIL
- A. BIL
- B. B/IL
- C. IL/B
- D. B + IL
Explanation
This is the correct answer. When a conductor carrying a current I is placed in a magnetic field B at an angle of 90°, it experiences a force given by the formula:F = BILwhere:F is the force on the conductorB is the magnetic field strengthI is the current flowing through the conductorL is the length of the conductor

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
