How do you verify experimentally that the current carrying conductor experiences a force when it is kept in magnetic field ?
- A copper wire is passed through splits of wooden sticks.
- Connect the wire to 3 volts battery.
- Close the switch of the battery and pass the current.
- Bring the horseshoe magnet near the wire.
- Then a force is experienced on the wire.
- Reverse the polarities of the magnet, then the direction of the force is also reversed.
- The right hand rule helps the direction of flow of current and the direction of current.
