Show transcript
The magnetic field lines around a current-carrying wire are concentric circles
In a uniform magnetic field, a current carrying wire is forced in one direction
Fleming’s left–hand rule can be used to predict the direction of movement of a current–carrying wire in a magnetic field
The force on a current–carrying conductor at right angles to a magnetic field, F, is found using F = B I l.
Opposite sides of a conducting coil in a uniform magnetic field are forced to move in opposite directions
