Answer the following questions related to the mechanical force experienced by a straight current-carrying conductor kept in a magnetic field:
(i) Name the rule that gives the direction of the force acting on the conductor.
(ii) Write the relation connecting force, current, length of the conductor and magnetic field strength when the conductor is perpendicular to the field.
(iii) List any two factors on which the magnitude of this force depends.
(iv) State the SI unit of magnetic field strength.
