Answer» n :-Why does a current carrying conductor EXPERIENCE a force in a magnetic field ?Answer :-A current carrying conductor has its own magnetic field. This is specially CALLED magnetic EFFECTS of electric current .Therefore , the magnetic field generated by the current has its own magnetic field lines.Now when the conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences either REPULSION or attraction due to different magnetic field lines of force .Actually the magnetic field of conductor and the field in which the conductor is placed causes repulsion or attraction in the conductor.This results in a force that is responsible for motion in the conductor. |
