Problem

A student places a straight horizontal conductor in a uniform magnetic field in her laboratory experiment. a. (i) Define magnetic field lines. b. (ii) State Fleming’s left-hand rule for finding the direction of the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field. c. (iii) The conductor carries a current of 3 A3\,\text{A} and is placed exactly parallel to a uniform magnetic field of 0.5 T0.5\,\text{T}. Will the conductor experience any force? Give a reason for your answer.
