SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -The direction of the force acting on the current carrying conductor is perpendicular to the direction of current as well as the magnetic field which we can find out by using Fleming’s left-hand rule. But, no force acts on the conductor when it is kept parallel to the magnetic field.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, no force acts on a current-carrying conductor when it is parallel to the magnetic field.

Detailed explanation-3: -A current-carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around it. i.e. behaves like a magnet and exerts a force when a magnet is placed in its magnetic field. Similarly, the magnetic field also exerts equal and opposite force on the current-carrying conductor.
