On what factors does the force experienced by a current–carrying conductor placed in a uniform magnetic field depend?

The force on a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field is given by the Fleming's left hand rule. F = B I L Where F is the force on the conductor           B is the magnitude of the uniform magnetic field           I is the current in the conductor           L is the Length of the current carrying wire Therefore from the above formula, force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the field, current in the wire and the length of the wire.
