Formula and explanation

Formula: F = I L × B Conditions: Uniform magnetic field, straight wire, current direction perpendicular to magnetic field direction. Explanation: The magnitude of the Ampere force equals the product of current I, wire length L, and magnetic flux density B. The direction is determined by the left - hand rule.
