Question
What are the factors which govern the force experienced by a current carrying conductor placed in a uniform magnetic field depends?

Answer

Force experienced by a current carrying conductor placed in a uniform magnetic field depends on the following factors:
  1. Magnetic field strength.
  2. Current through the conductor.
  3. Length of the conductor.
According to Fleming's Left hand rule, if a current I is flowing along the wire of length L which is placed perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field B, then the force F experienced by the wire perpendicular to the current and the magnetic field is expressed as:
F = BIL

The activities of man had adverse effects on all forms of living organisms in the biosphere. Unlimited exploitation of nature by man disturbed the delicate ecological balance between the living and non-living components of the biosphere. The unfavourable conditions created by man himself threatened the survival not only of himself but also of the entire living organisms on the mother earth.
