Force on a current carrying conductor

DC Motor

A type of motor that converts direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Electromagnetic Force

The force exerted on a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field.

Fleming's Left Hand Rule

A rule used to determine the direction of force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field.

Magnetic Field

A region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts.

Formula for Force on a Conductor

The force acting on a conductor can be calculated using F = BIL, where F is the force in Newtons, B is the magnetic field strength in Teslas, I is the current in Amperes, and L is the length of the conductor in meters.

Current-Carrying Conductor

A conductor that has an electric current flowing through it, which generates a magnetic field around it.

Magnetic Flux

The measure of the quantity of the magnetic field passing through a given area.

Force on Conductor

The resultant action experienced by a conductor in a magnetic field, influenced by the direction of the current and the magnetic field.

Operating Principles of AC Motors

The fundamental concepts that describe how alternating current motors function.

Current Direction Reversal

When the direction of current through a conductor is reversed, the direction of the force on the conductor also reverses.
