What will happen while placing a current conductor in a magnetic field? Explain.

Whenever a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field then the conductor will experience a magnetic force. This happen because the current in the conductor has its own magnetic field and there is also a magnetic field present. So both the field will interact and will result in repulsion or attraction of the conductor wire toward the fixed magnets.

The magnetic force depend on four things:

•Amount of current

•Strength of Magnetic field

•Length of the wire which remain in magnetic field

•And the angle between the current carrying conductor and magnetic field.

The direction of magnetic force acting on a current wire placed in a magnetic field is given by Fleming’s left hands rule.
