Question

When is the force on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field at its strongest?

-when the current is at a 0-degree angle to the field
-when the current is at a 30-degree angle to the field
-when the current is at a 45-degree angle to the field
-when the current is at a 90-degree angle to the field

Answer 1

its D -when the current is at a 90-degree angle to the field

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is 'when the current is at a 90-degree angle to the field'

Step-by-step explanation:

The Force on a current carrying wire in a magnetic field is given by lorents Force:

`F=BILsin\theta`

B= Magnetic Field in Tesla

I = Current in a wire in Ampere

L= Length of the wire in meters

`\theta` = angle between the Vetor B and vector I in degrees.

`F=BILsin90^o` (force will be maximum)

`F=BILsin0^o` (force will be minimum)
