Question

The direction of the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field depends on

  1. The direction of the current
  2. The direction of the magnetic field
  3. Both (a) and (b)
  4. Length of the wire

hintHint:

Both (a) and (b)

The correct answer is: Both (a) and (b)


    The direction of the force on a current-carrying wire placed in a magnetic field depends on the direction of current as well as the direction of the magnetic field.
