How is the force on a conductor in a magnetic field calculated?.

  1. A.F = B x I x L
  2. B.F = m x a
  3. C.F = q x E
  4. D.F = V / R

Model answer

What a good answer should say

  • F = B x I x L

Explanation

Why this works

The force on a conductor in a magnetic field is calculated using the formula F = B x I x L, where F is the force, B is the magnetic flux density, I is the current, and L is the length of the conductor in the magnetic field.
