Question

Which of the following statements are true for magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field?

Check all that apply.

	The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines.
	The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the current.
	The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is parallel to the magnetic field lines.
	The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the field.

Answer 1

The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines. The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the current The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the field.
