A current carrying wire does not tend to rotate in a magnetic field. What do you conclude from this?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It means, no force is acting on the current carrying wire due to magnetic field, which is possible if the current carrying wire is parallel to the direction of magnetic field.
