Force between two current carrying conductors
lets say I have two wires. each has a magnetic field due to its current. this magnetic field is present in the other wire causing a force in that other wire. Now I understand that changing the current ...

Could you calculate the force between two NON-PARALLEL, straight current carrying wires?
Just like there are ways to solve for the force between two straight parallel wires, what is the way we could find the force between non-parallel wires?

How can two conductors of unequal lengths exert a force of same magnitude on each other?
I understand Newton's 3rd Law states that if Object (conductor) A exerts a force on Object B, Object A will experience an equal and opposite force. However, in a current carrying conductor Lorentz ...

What's the difference between $f= i (l × B)$ and $f= (i∫dl )× B$?
for any current carrying conductor of any arbitrary shape in uniform magnetic field experiences a force given by F = i (l × B) where l is length between end and start points of the conductor and in f=...

Where does force act in two parallel current carrying conductors?
F=ILB.so consider length as 5 m and I as 2 ampere and B as 5 T.so the force is 50 N.does this 50 N act at one point or equally applied on full length like pressure.So what does force/length in this ...

Apparent singularity of Magnetic field generator by a ♾️ conductor [closed]
Let's assume two perpendicular wires: one is infinitely long and the other's length is $l$ (finite).
The second wire is placed vertically on top of the infinitely long wire and there is a distance of ...

Why is the cross product used in electrodynamics [closed]
For example, $F = I \times B$. Why would the force be perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the current? Why would the resultant force be totally unlike its 2 sources; this could be likened to ...

How is Lorentz Force $BQv=BIl$?
The formula for Lorentz Force on moving charge is $$F=BQv$$ which for current carrying wire is modified to $$F=BQv$$$$=BQ\frac lt$$$$=BIl$$
Where $l$ is the length of the wire inside the magnetic ...

Will solenoid expansion take place when current is flowing though it?
I came across this when doing my revision exam paper and had this doubt. I wanted to ask whether a solenoid will expand radially outwards when current flows through it.
(The actual question was ...

Why doesn't a conducting wire in a constant magnetic field experience a force in the direction of the magnetic field?
Instead of using the wire's magnetic field for deriving using Newton's third law can't we do the opposite using the magnetic field produced by magnet ?
I mean why doesn't the wire simply move in the ...

Physically, what does Force $×$ $d$(Current) measure?
Physically, what does $$\text{Force}\times d(\text{Current})$$ measure?
For example, if we have a boundary of a system and something flowing into the systems through the boundary. Then what is the ...
