🔬 MCAT Exam Prep

A wire carrying current in a magnetic field experiences a force described by:

A Coulomb law
B F = qvBsinθ (Lorentz force on moving charges)
C Ohm law
D Faraday law

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

The force on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field comes from the Lorentz force on moving charges: F = ILBsinθ, derived from F = qvBsinθ.
