Force on a current carrying wire placed in a magnetic field
Question

A current carrying straight conductor is placed in a uniform magnetic field and the force experienced by it is 103 N. If the maximum possible force experienced by the conductor, when placed in the same magnetic field is 20 N, then in the first case the angle between the direction of current in the conductor and the magnetic field is

Moderate
Solution

FB=IPQ×BFB=IPQB  sinθAlso,  FBmax=IPQB.Sinθ=FBFBmax=10320=32θ=60o
