A current-carrying conductor is placed perpendicularly in a magnetic field. Name the rule which can be used to find the direction of force acting on the conductor. a) State two ways to increase the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field. b) Name one device whose working depends on the force exerted on a current-carrying coil placed in a magnetic field.

Answer
- Fleming’s left hand rule
- When the current flow in the conductor is increased, the strength of the magnetic field also
- Electric
current, and the forefinger gives the direction of the magnetic field.
