Force on a wire = i B x L
where i = current magnitude
B = magnetic field vector
L = wire length and direction vector
x denotes vector cross product
(i) force doubles and direction remains the same
(ii) less force, same direction
(iii) same force, opposite direction
what happens to the force (magnitude and direction) on the wire when
(i) the size of the current through the wire is increased ?
(ii)
A weaker magnet is used ?
(iii) the size of the current the same but the direction of the current is reversed
