Technician A says that work is being performed if a force is being applied, yet the object does not move. Technician B says that torque is a twisting force that may or may not result in motion. Which technician is correct

Explanation:

According to technician B  "torque is a twisting force that may or may not result in motion" which is right, but technician A is wrong in the sence that for work to be done the force must be applied over a distance that is there must be movement over a distance.

What is work?

work is the application of force over a distance

mathematically

work= force* distance

and it is measured in joules

What is torque?

Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis(hence it is very possible that the object maintained its position)

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.
