What happens when a current carrying wire is placed in a magnetic field?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

1.Magnetic field applies force on current carrying wire.
2. So it gets deflected and the direction of deflection is given by right hand rule .
3. Or there will be no force acting on the wire when wire is in the direction of the field .
