A conductor of length 2m carries a current of magnetic field of magnetic flux density 0.5T. The maximum force acting on it is ?
To find the maximum force acting on a conductor, you need to use the equation for the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field. The equation is:
F = BILsinθ
Where:
F = Force acting on the conductor (in newtons)
B = Magnetic flux density (in teslas)
I = Current flowing through the conductor (in amperes)
L = Length of the conductor (in meters)
θ = Angle between the direction of the current and the direction of the magnetic field
In this case, let's assume that the angle θ is 90 degrees because the conductor is perpendicular to the magnetic field. Therefore, sinθ will be equal to 1.
Given:
L = 2m
B = 0.5T
To find the maximum force, we need to know the current flowing through the conductor (I). Assuming you have that information, substitute the given values into the equation to find the force:
F = (0.5T) * I * (2m) * sin(90°)
F = I
So, the maximum force acting on the conductor is simply equal to the current flowing through it.
