Why does a current-carrying conductor experience a force when it is placed in a magnetic field ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A current-carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around it which interacts with the externally applied magnetic field and so the conductor experiences a force. Force on the conductor
