A student while studying the force experienced by a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field records the following observations:
(i) The force experienced by the conductor increases as the current is increased.
(ii) The force experienced by the conductor decreases as the strength of the magnetic field is increased.
Which of the two observations is correct and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Observation (i) is correct as the force experienced by the current carrying conductor is directly proportional to magnitude of the current passing through the conductor.
