Lorentz Magnetic Force:
A current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field experiences a force
which means that a moving charge in a magnetic field experiences force.

θ
Fm = (q v B sin θ) n
where θ is the angle between v and B
Special Cases:
i) If the charge is at rest, i.e. v = 0, then Fm = 0.
So, a stationary charge in a magnetic field does
not experience any force.
ii) If θ = 0° or 180° i.e. if the charge moves parallel
or anti-parallel to the direction of the magnetic
field, then Fm = 0.
iii) If θ = 90° i.e. if the charge moves perpendicular
to the magnetic field, then the force is
maximum. Fm (max) = q v B

If the central finger, fore finger and
thumb of left hand are stretched mutually
perpendicular to each other and the
central finger points to current, fore
finger points to magnetic field, then
thumb points in the direction of motion
(force) on the current carrying conductor.
TIP:
Remember the phrase ‘e m f’ to represent electric current, magnetic
field and force in anticlockwise direction of the fingers of left hand.
Force on a moving charge in uniform Electric and Magnetic
Fields:
When a charge q moves with velocity v in region in which both electric
field E and magnetic field B exist, then the Lorentz force is
F = qE + q (v x B) or F = q (E + v x B)

Force experienced by each electron in
the conductor is

If n be the number density of electrons,

conductor, then no. of electrons in the
element dl is n A dl.
where I = neAvd and -ve sign represents that
the direction of dl is opposite to that of vd)
or F = I l B sin θ

Force experienced by the electrons in dl is
dF = n A dl [ - e (vd x B)] = - n e A vd (dl X B)

F = ∫ dF = ∫ I (dl x B)

By Fleming’s Left Hand Rule,
the conductors experience
force towards each other and
hence attract each other.
By Fleming’s Left Hand Rule,
the conductors experience
force away from each other
and hence repel each other.
Definition of Ampere:

Force per unit length of the
conductor is
N / m
When I1 = I2 = 1 Ampere and r = 1 m, then F = 2 x 10-7
N/m.
One ampere is that current which, if passed in each of two parallel
conductors of infinite length and placed 1 m apart in vacuum causes each
conductor to experience a force of 2 x 10-7
Newton per metre of length of
the conductor.

| FSP | = I b B sin θ
| FQR | = I b B sin θ

| FRs | = I l B sin 90° = I l B
FSP = I (b x B)
FQR = I (b x B)
FPQ = I (l x B)
Forces FSP and FQR are equal in magnitude but opposite
in direction and they cancel out each other. Moreover
they act along the same line of action (axis) and hence
do not produce torque.
FRS = I (l x B)
Forces FPQ and FRS being equal in magnitude but
opposite in direction cancel out each other and do not
produce any translational motion. But they act
along different lines of action and hence
produce torque about the axis of the coil.

Torque experienced by the coil is

‫ז‬ = I l B (b cos θ)
‫ז‬ = I lb B cos θ
‫ז‬ = I A B cos θ (A = lb)
‫ז‬ = N I A B cos θ (where N is the no. of turns)
If Φ is the angle between the normal to the coil and
the direction of the magnetic field, then
Φ + θ = 90° i.e. θ = 90° - Φ
So,
‫ז‬ = I A B cos (90° - Φ)
‫ז‬ = N I A B sin Φ
NOTE:
One must be very careful in using the formula in terms of cos or sin
since it depends on the angle taken whether with the plane of the coil
or the normal of the coil.

Note:
1) The coil will rotate in the anticlockwise direction (from the top view,
according to the figure) about the axis of the coil shown by the dotted
line.
2) The torque acts in the upward direction along the dotted line (according
to Maxwell’s Screw Rule).
3) If Φ = 0°, then ‫ז‬=0 .
4) If Φ = 90°, then ‫ז‬ is maximum. i.e. ‫ז‬ max = N I A B
5) Units: B in Tesla, I in Ampere, A in m2
and ‫ז‬ in Nm.
6) The above formulae for torque can be used for any loop irrespective of
its shape.
or
(since M = I A is the Magnetic Dipole Moment)
‫ז‬ = N I (A x B) ‫ז‬ = N (M x B)
Torque in Vector form:
‫ז‬ = N I A B sin Φ

Series Resistance is (V / Ig) - G and is very high. 4 It is always connected in series. It is always connected in parallel. 5 Resistance of an ideal ammeter is zero. Resistance of an ideal voltmeter is infinity. 6 Its resistance is less than that of the galvanometer. Its resistance is greater than that of the voltmeter. 7 It is not possible to decrease the range of the given ammeter. It is possible to decrease the range of the given voltmeter.
