Magnetic Field Exerts Force On A Current Carrying Conductor
Force On A Current Carrying Conductor In A Magnetic Field
We know that a current carrying conductor behaves like a magnet. We also know that two magnets exert a force on each other. Now, if we place such a conductor (behaving as a magnet) in a magnetic field, then it will experience a force exactly the same way as a bar magnet would experience on placing it in the neighborhood of another bar magnet.
Further, it was suggested by Marie Ampere that force exerted by a current- carrying conductor on a bar magnet and force exerted by the bar magnet on current-carrying conductor are equal and opposite (i.e. satisfy Newton’s third law) as both are in the magnetic fields of each other.
The current-carrying conductor, inside the magnetic field of a horse shoe magnet experiences a force. If we freely hang the wire, then it will be displaced in the presence of external magnetic field (magnetic field due horse—shoe magnet). This displacement gets reversed if we reverse the direction of current.
Activity: Connect the ends of the conductor AB to the two ends of the battery and switch as shown in the figure. Place a horse shoe magnet as shown. The poles of the horse shoe magnets should be arranged such that the conductor wire can swing freely between the poles. When we turn the switch to the ON state the current starts flowing in the conductor.The conductor starts behaving as a magnet and will move showing that the magnetic field of the horse shoe magnet exerts force on the current carrying conductor.
On interchanging the poles of the magnet or the direction of the current the direction of the movement of the conductor also changes
Observations: It is observed that
1. A current carrying conductor experiences force in a magnetic field.
2. The direction of force depends on the direction of the magnetic field and is perpendicular to it.
3. The direction of force depends on the direction of current and is perpendicular to it.
Hence, we can conclude that:
“Force on a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field depends upon the direction of magnetic field as well as upon direction of flow of current through the conductor”.

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
It was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.

8thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.

7thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
Hiya Gupta
8thIt has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
Barkha Arora
10thI have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
Yatharthi Sharma
10thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.

10thAbout Abhyas metholodology the teachers are very nice and hardworking toward students.The Centre Head Mrs Anu Sethi is also a brilliant teacher.Abhyas has taught me how to overcome problems and has always taken my doubts and suppoeted me.
Shreya Shrivastava
8thAbhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
