Question

When the current in the current carrying conductor increases, what happens to the force in the conductor which is at right angles to the magnetic field?

(a) Increases

(b) Decreases

(c) Remains the same

(d) Becomes zero

I got this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

My question is taken from Force Determination in portion Electromagnetism of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) Increases

To elaborate: The force at right angles to the magnetic field of a current carrying conductor increases when the current increases because it is directly proportional to the force.
