3.

Explain the concept of magnetic force on a current-carrying conductor.

a)

The magnetic force on a current-carrying conductor is the force exerted on the conductor due to the interaction between the magnetic field created by the current and an external magnetic field.

b)

The magnetic force on a current-carrying conductor is caused by gravitational pull.

c)

The magnetic force on a current-carrying conductor is unrelated to the current flowing through it.
