Conductors develop electric currents in them |
on applying electric field on placing the conductor in the magnetic field on applying gravitational field only on applying the magnetic field and gravitational field |
on applying electric field |
The correct answer is Option (1) → on applying electric field When an electric field is applied to a conductor, free electrons inside the conductor experience an electric force given by: $ F = eE $ This force causes electrons to drift in the opposite direction of the field, creating a net flow of charge known as electric current. Magnetic or gravitational fields alone do not produce a steady current in a conductor without an electric field. |
