What is the effect of a magnetic field on a current-carrying conductor placed in it?
Correct Answer: A current-carrying conductor experiences a force in a magnetic field.
- Step 1: Understand that a conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it, like a wire.
- Step 2: Know that when electricity flows through the conductor, it creates an electric current.
- Step 3: Recognize that a magnetic field is an area around a magnet where magnetic forces can be felt.
- Step 4: When you place a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field, the magnetic field interacts with the electric current.
- Step 5: This interaction causes the conductor to experience a force, which can make it move.
- Step 6: The direction of the force depends on the direction of the current and the orientation of the magnetic field.
