Concept explainers
Whether there is no magnetic field at the location of the wire.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When
A conductor carrying current generates its own magnetic field. When placed in another magnetic field a force is exerted on the wire because of the interaction between the magnetic field and the field generated by the wire carrying current. The direction of the force is determined by Fleming’s left hand rule as shown below.
However if no force is experienced one cannot conclude that there is no magnetic field because if the magnetic field is parallel to the wire, no force acts on it.
Conclusion:
If no force is experienced one cannot conclude that there is no magnetic field because if the magnetic field is parallel to the wire, no force acts on it.
