Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Electromagnetic Field Theory - Quiz(MCQ)
A conductor of length L has current I passing through it, when it is placed parallel to strong magnetic field. The force experienced by the conductor will be
A)
BIL
B)
BL²I
C)
BI²L.
D)
zero.

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   zero.


Explanation : The force can be found with the given expression F = I × L × B × sinθ and θ is the angle between I and B. When that current carrying conductor is placed parallel to the magnetic field, then the angle between current and magnetic field is zero. So, sinθ = sin0° = 0. Hence, the force experienced by the conductor is zero.
