Question on: JAMB Physics - 2000

A conductor of length 2m carries a current of 0.8A while kept in a magnetic field of magnetic flux density 0.5T. The maximum force acting on it is

A
0.2N
B
0.8N
C
3.2N
D
8.0N
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: B

The force on the conductor is maximum when the conductor lies perpendicular to the field during which the maximum force is given as;

F = ILB = 0.8 x 2 x 0.5 = 0.8N
