प्रश्न
The net charge in a current-carrying wire is zero. Then, why does a magnetic field exert a force on it?
उत्तर
The net charge in a current- carrying wire is zero. Yet, negative charge, i.e. electrons are moving in the wire towards the positive terminal. It is this motion of electrons in the conductor which produces the current in the wire and is also responsible for the magnetic force acting on the wire.
F = qVBsin(θ), where F is the force, q is the charge of electrons, V is the velocity of electrons and B is the magnetic field.
Moreover, the positive charges on the wire are due to nucleus containing proton. As they are not moving so there is no force on them, so the force is only due to the moving electrons in the wire.

A magnetic field exerts no force on
Consider a wire carrying a steady current, I placed in a uniform magnetic field B perpendicular to its length. Consider the charges inside the wire. It is known that magnetic forces do no work. This implies that ______.
- motion of charges inside the conductor is unaffected by B since they do not absorb energy.
- some charges inside the wire move to the surface as a result of B.
- if the wire moves under the influence of B, no work is done by the force.
- if the wire moves under the influence of B, no work is done by the magnetic force on the ions, assumed fixed within the wire.
Show that a force that does no work must be a velocity dependent force.
