Solution
A current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field experiences a force. The magnitude of force increases with the amount of current, strength of the magnetic field, and the length of the conductor. Hence, the magnetic force exerted on rod AB and its deflection will increase if,
- The current in rod AB is increased.
- A stronger horse-shoe magnet is used.
- Length of rod AB is increased.
