Magnetic Force on a Current Carrying Conductor
Consider a current carrying wire of
length l and cross-sectional area A , is placed
in a uniform magnetic field of flux density B
as shown in the figure below
If n is the number of free charges per
unit volume of a conductor (each having
charge e), then the total charge flowing
through the wire is
q = nAle
