(The direction of magnetic field around a current carrying wire is given by Right hand thumb rule.) Experimentally, it is observed that when a current carrying conductor is placed in an external magnetic field
then the conductor experiences a force
.
What happens when a current carrying conductor is kept in a magnetic field?
When a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field,
a mechanical force is exerted on the conductor which can make the conductor move
. Hint: When a conductor carries current then it generates its own magnetic field around it.
When a current carrying conductor is kept in a magnetic field it experiences a force when will this force be maximum?
The force experienced by a current-carrying conductor is the maximum
when the direction of current is perpendicular to the magnetic field’s direction
.
When a current carrying conductor is kept in a magnetic field it experiences a force list the factors on which direction of this force depends?
A current carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around it which interacts with the magnetic field in which it is held. Thus, it experiences a force. Direction of this force depends upon
the direction of current and the magnetic field
.
When a current carrying conductor is kept in in a magnetic field state the position when maximum force acts on it?
The force experienced by a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field is the maximum when
the conductor is kept perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field
.
What kind of magnetic field is produced by a current carrying solenoid?
Complete answer:
A solenoid is an electromagnet that uses a coil wound into a tightly packed helix to generate
a controlled magnetic field
. When an electric current is passed through the coil, it can be arranged to produce a uniform magnetic field in a volume of space.
How do you increase the force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field?
- By increasing the current flowing in the conductor.
- by increasing the strength of magnetic field.
What is the current carrying conductor position?
The force on a current carrying wire is maximum only
when the wire is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field
. It is minimum, that is, no force acts on the conductor when it is parallel to the magnetic field.
What is the angle between current carrying conductor?
The angle between the current carrying conductor and the magnetic field is
90°
.
Which gives the direction of magnetic field?
The
Maxwell right-hand thumb rule
indicates the direction of the magnetic field in the direction of the current. If the thumb of the right-hand points along the direction of the current, then the remaining curled fingers of the same hand give the magnetic field direction due to the current.
Why does current carrying conductor experience a force in magnetic field?
When a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field the wire experiences a force due
to the interaction between the field and the magnetic field produced by the moving charges in the wire
. The current carrying conductor generates it own magnetic field around it.
On what factors the strength and direction of the magnetic field around a current carrying conductor depends on?
Magnetic field due to a current-carrying conductor depends on
the current in the conductor and distance of the point from the conductor
. The direction of the magnetic field is perpendicular to the wire.
Why does a current carrying conductor kept in a magnetic field experiences a force?
(i) A current carrying conductor has a magnetic field associated with it. The two magnetic fields,
one due to the magnet and the other due to the current in the conductor
, interact. This produces a force on the conductor.
What is the pattern of the magnetic field lines around a straight conductor carrying current?
The Magnetic field lines around a straight conductor carrying current are
concentric circles whose centres lie on the wire
. The direction of magnetic field lines can be determined using Right-Hand Thumb Rule.
How is a current carrying wire placed in a magnetic field so that magnetic field does not act on it?
A current carrying wire is placed (A)
Parallel to magnetic field
so that magnetic field does not act on it. Explanation: When the current carrying wire is placed in a magnetic field, then the wire is subjected to magnetic force.
When a current carrying conductor is placed parallel to the magnetic field maximum force acts on the conductor True or false?
No force acts
on a current carrying conductor when it is parallel to the magnetic field.
