thanks, cs
stewartcs said:The force on the conductor is:
[tex] F = ILBsin(\theta)[/tex]
where,
I = current
L = conductor length
B = flux density
theta = the angle of the conductor relative to the direction of the field

The force acting on a conductor is the force exerted on the conductor by an external magnetic field. This force is perpendicular to both the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the current in the conductor.
The force on a conductor can be calculated using the equation F = I * L * B, where F is the force in Newtons, I is the current in Amperes, L is the length of the conductor in meters, and B is the strength of the magnetic field in Tesla.
The direction of the force on a conductor can be determined using the right-hand rule. If the thumb of the right hand is pointing in the direction of the current and the fingers are pointing in the direction of the magnetic field, then the palm of the hand will be facing in the direction of the force.
The force on a conductor can cause it to move in a circular path if the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field. If the current is parallel to the magnetic field, the conductor will experience a force but will not change its direction of motion.
The force on a conductor can be controlled by changing the strength or direction of the magnetic field, or by adjusting the current in the conductor. This is the principle behind electromagnetic devices such as motors and generators.
