ELECTRONS CONSTITUTE CURRENT IN THE CONDUCTOR.EACH ELECTRONS EXPERIENCE FORCE DUE TO THE EXTERNAL MAGNETIC FIELD .TOTAL FORCE ON THE ELECTRONS IS EQUAL TO THE FORCE ON THE WHOLE CONDUCTOR.

Let ‘l’ be the length , ‘A’ be the area of cross section of the wire . Also , n is the no. of electrons per unit volume of the conductor. I is the steady current ,v is the drift velocity of electrons . B is the magnitude of external magnetic field and it makes angle θ with the axis of the conductor., Force on an electron , f = -e (v ×B)-----------(1), Total force on N electrons , F=N . f = n .A .l . f where N =n. a. l, So, F= n. A. l. e(v ×B)-----------------(2), Since , I= n. A .e. v, F = I (l × B), F= B I L sinθ, Case:, When θ=O or 180 i. e the direction of magnetic field is parallel to the axis of the conductor, F=O no force is experienced., When θ=90 ,the direction of magnetic field is perpendicular to the axis of the conductor. Maximum force is experienced on the conductor. F= BI l

HENCE, TWO STRAIGHT PARALLEL CONDUCTORS CARRYING CURRENT IN THE SAME DIRECTIONS ATTRACT EACH OTHERS . IF THE CURRENTS FLOW IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS ,THE TWO WIRES WILL REPEL EACH OTHERS.

DEFINITION OF 1 AMPERE OF CURRENT:, Using the relation , F= μ₀I1I2/2πr, 1 A of current is the current flowing across the two parallel wires separated by a distance 1 metre apart in free space experiencing a force of 2×10⁻⁷N per metre on each.
