Question:

In a conductor of length l and area of cross section A, if vd is the drift velocity of the charge carriers of charge q having a number density of n, then what is lABnqvd if B is the magnetic field  ?

Options:

Magnetic Moment

Force

Momentum

Electric field.

Correct Answer:

Force

Explanation:

lABnqvd 

lA = Volume(V)

nqV = Total Charge(Q)

$\Rightarrow lABnqv_d = Qv_dB = \text{ Magnetic Force}$
