Perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the electric current

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The magnetic force $(F)$ acting on a current-carrying conductor of length $(l)$ carrying current $(I)$ placed in a magnetic field $(B)$ is given by the vector product: $F = I(l 	imes B)$.According to the right-hand rule or Fleming's left-hand rule,the direction of the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the plane containing both the direction of the electric current and the direction of the magnetic field.Therefore,the force is perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the electric current.
