When a current carrying wire is placed in an exterior magnetic field, it's known that there is a Lorentz force, and when calculating the magnitude of the Lorentz force, the magnetic field of the wire is never considered. What if the wire's magnetic field is stronger by a huge factor to the exterior field? What effect could arise from this?
Consider the source of the exterior magnetic field to have a ferromagnetic material(whether a magnet/electromagnet), could the strong field form the wire change the magnetization of the magnet/core and reduce the exterior field applied to the wire hence reducing the Lorentz force?
Also, could there be another force aside from the Lorentz force that's magnetic?An attraction between the wire and the magnet/core's ferromagnetic material?
Assume this diagram, where the ##B_W## > ##B##
