Which of the following statements is/are correct? Statements: I) A current carrying conductor acts like a magnet. II) Moving electrons perpendicular to the magnetic field do not experience any force.
Statement I only
The correct answer is option 2 I.e. Statement I only.
The correct statement is:
-
I) A current-carrying conductor acts like a magnet.
-
Statement I is correct: When electric current flows through a conductor, it generates a magnetic field around it — this is the principle behind electromagnets.
-
Statement II is incorrect: Moving electrons perpendicular to a magnetic field do experience a force (called the Lorentz force). The force is maximum when the motion is perpendicular to the field.
