Conductor in a Static B Field: Impact on Electron Orbitals and Induction"

[cragar]

What happens if I place a solid conductor in a static B field. I mean B fields can't do work so it won't induce a current unless its a superconductor. Will it shift the electron orbitals because of the Lorentz force? Any input will be much appreciated.

If you put anything in a static field it will be attracted to the source of the static field, so long as the object is not charged itself with a positive or negative electric charge. It does not matter if its a conductor or not.

Just ignore superconductors, they are a different ball game all together. The only way you can get current to flow in a conductor is if you have a moving dipole magnetic field, and the conductor would need to be in a loop to form an electric circuit or no current will ever flow.
