Formula and explanation

Formula: B = (F)/(I L sin θ) Conditions: For a straight current - carrying conductor. When the conductor is perpendicular to the magnetic field ( θ = 90^° ), the formula simplifies to B = (F)/(IL). Explanation: A physical quantity describing the strength and direction of a magnetic field. The magnetic induction intensity B at a point in a magnetic field is defined as the magnetic force per unit length on a straight conductor carrying unit current, placed perpendicular to the field direction at that point.
