force on a current carrying conductor

Question 1

if you put a current carrying wire into a magnetic field what happens

Answer 1

the two fields interact and a force is exerted on the wire

( which can cause the wire to move)

Question 2

what is the motor effect

Answer 2

When a current carrying wire is put in a magnetic field, the wire experiences a force. This can cause the wire to move.

Question 3

to experience the full force of the motor effect, the wire needs to be at ___* to the magnetic field

Answer 3

90 degrees

Question 4

the induced potential difference and current are larger : (3)

Answer 4

• if we use a stronger magnetic field
• if we move the wire more rapidly
• if we shape the wire into a coil
  ( more number of turns then the greater the induced potential difference and current)
