Force on a Current-carrying Conductor in a Magnetic Field |
|
| |
| |
Catapult field |
|
| |
Resultant magnetic field produced by the interaction between the magnetic field from a current-carrying conductor and the magnetic field from a permanent magnet |
|

|
In simple terms:
\((\text {Current + Magnetic field}) + \text {Magnetic field} = \text {Force} + \text {Catapult field}\)
|
| |
|
The direction of the force acting on the conductor carrying-current in the magnetic field can be determined using Fleming's left-hand rule.
