Question

A conductor of length L has current I passing through it. When it is placed PARALLEL to a magnetic field, the force experienced by the conductor will be:
Options
A . Parallel means theta=0, sin0=0, so force is zero.
Correct Answer
B BLI
C (1/2) BLI
D 2BLI
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

F=BILsin(theta). Parallel means theta=0, sin0=0, so force is zero.

Hint

F=BILsin(theta).
