If the magnetic flux density and current are at right angles, then component of force acting on the conductor is

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The force acting on a conductor in a magnetic field, when the current and magnetic field are at right angles, is given by the formula F = BIL sinθ. Since θ = 90° in this case, sinθ = 1, making the formula effectively F = BIL, but the correct representation of the relationship at any angle is BIL sinθ.
