the force on a current carying conductor increases if: (five reasons)
Magnetic filed strength increases
current flowing through conductor increases
length of conductor in field increases
angle between field and current increases
number of lengths of wire in the field increases
current carrying conductors near eachother will?
Repel if currents in opposite directions
attract if currents in same directions
what is torque?
the turning action of two equal forces acting in opposite directions on opposite sides of a coil (also known as the moment of a force)
define the motor effect
A current carrying conductor in a magnetic field experiences a force. the motor effect occurs due to the interaction of the external field with the field created by the current
