Force on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field (Lorentz force)If
a current carrying conductor is in a magnetic field, the conductor will
experience a force and will move if it is free to do so. The movement, magnetic
field and the current are all at right angles to each other. This
image shows the effect of an electric current going through a wire in a magnetic
field. The green arrow represents the magnetic field and the blue ones the
force:
These show how the Force sensor was set up to study the Lorentz force
