Question

The dominant force experienced by an electron moving in a wire is (A) Gravitational (B) Electromagnetic (C) Strong nuclear (D) weak molecular

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

When current flows through a wire, the electrons present in it, move under the influence of both, the electric field and magnetic field.
Hence, the dominant force experienced by the electron is electromagnetic in nature and given by

F = F_{e} + F_{m} = q [E + (v \times B)]

Q. The dominant force experienced by an electron moving in a wire is

Gravitational

Electromagnetic

Strong nuclear

weak molecular

When current flows through a wire, the electrons present in it, move under the influence of both, the electric field and magnetic field. Hence, the dominant force experienced by the electron is electromagnetic in nature and given by F=Fe​+Fm​=q[E+(v×B)]

When current flows through a wire, the electrons present in it, move under the influence of both, the electric field and magnetic field.
Hence, the dominant force experienced by the electron is electromagnetic in nature and given by
$F = F_{e} + F_{m} = q [E + (v \times B)]$
