Answer
⇒ Aim : To understand about magnetic force acting on a current carrying conductor, when placed in an external magnetic field.
⇒ Procedure with explanation :
→ In the figure, $A B$ is light weight thin aluminium rod, placed between two magnetic poles of a horse shoe magnet, connected with battery, key and rheostat.
→ When the key $K$ is made closed, current passes through the rod from $B$ to $A$. We notice that rod gets displaced towards left.
→ Now, after reversing the battery termmais, if above procedure is repeated then direction of current gets reversed. At this time, we notice that rod gets displaced towards right.
→ Conclusion : When a current carrying conductor is placed in some external magnetic field at an angle $0^{\circ}<\theta<180^{\circ}$, it experiences a magnetic force. Where direction of current passing through the conductor is reversed, direction of this magnetic force also gets reversed.
