Question
A straight current-carrying conductor is kept in a magnetic field. It Experiences a force. State three factors on which the magnitude of force Experienced by the conductor depends. Under what condition will the conductor Experience no force?

Solution
The three conditions are: (i) Current in the conductor, (ii) Length of conductor, (iii) Strength of i magnetic field. The conductor will Experience no force if the direction of current in the conductor is parallel to the direction of magnetic field.
