When a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, which scenario leads to maximum force acting on it?
When the current and magnetic field are parallel
When the current and magnetic field are anti-parallel
When the current and magnetic field are perpendicular
When the conductor is stationary
Answer and Solution
Answer
C. When the current and magnetic field are perpendicular
Solution:
The force on a current-carrying conductor is maximum when the current and magnetic field are perpendicular. This is described by Fleming's Left-Hand Rule.
