Question

The force on a current carrying wire in a magnetic field is proportional to the current, the length of wire in the field, and the field strength. Is this true or false?

Answer 1

The formula for the force on current carrying wire in a magnetic field is given as

`F=IlB\sin \theta`

*Here I is the current

*Here l is the length

*Here B is the strength of the magnetic field

From the above expression, it is clear that the force on a current carrying wire in a magnetic field is proportional to the current, the length of wire in the field, and the field strength.

Therefore, the given statement is a true statement.
