Check all that apply. The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is parallel to the magnetic

dedylja [7]

Answer:

The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the field.

The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the current.

The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic force exerted on a current-carrying wire due to a magnetic field is given by

$F=ILB sin \theta$ (1)

where I is the current, L the length of the wire, B the strength of the magnetic field, $\theta$ the angle between the direction of the field and the direction of the current.

Also, B, I and F in the formula are all perpendicular to each other. (2)

According to eq.(1), we see that the statement:

"The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines."

is correct, because when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field, $\theta=90^{\circ}, sin \theta = 1$ and the force is maximum.

Moreover, according to (2), we also see that the statements

"The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the field. "

"The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the current. "

because F (the force) is perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the current.
