Question 21

A current-carrying metal bar is used to move a shutter in a ventilation system. A technician tests the bar. In every test, the bar is perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field.

A0.201.58.00.024
B0.302.04.00.024
C0.251.08.00.020
D0.252.58.00.050

A student uses tests A and B to conclude that increasing the current does not increase the force.

Evaluate the student's conclusion using all the data.
