The direction of magnetic field at a place is coming out of the paper. A wire whose direction of current flow is as shown in the figure is placed there. In which direction is the force due to the magnetic field experienced by the wire?
By the right hand rule the thumb pointing in the direction of the current and the forefingers pointing in the direction of the magnetic field, than perpendicular to the palm is the direction of the force on the conductor. Therefore the direction of the force on the conductor is south west.
