Solution
Experimentally, it is found that the magnitude of force acting on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field in the direction perpendicular to it's length depends on the following three factors:
- The force F is directly proportional to the strength of magnetic field B, i.e., F α B
- The force F is directly proportional to the current I flowing in the wire, i.e., F α I
- The force F is directly proportional to the length L of the wire (within the magnetic field) i.e., F α L

The graph (fig A) illustrates the correlation between the number of protons (x-axis) and the number of neutrons (y-axis) for elements A, B, C, D, and E in the periodic table. These elements are denoted by the letters rather than their conventional symbols. When the element C, depicted in the graph, undergoes radioactive decay, it releases radioactive rays. When these rays are directed into the plane of the paper in the presence of a magnetic field, as indicated in the fig B, they experience deflection, causing them to move upwards.
