The diagram below shows a straight wire carrying a conventional current into the page. The wire is between the poles of a permanent magnet. The direction of the magnetic force exerted on the wire is: A. upward. B. to the left. C. downward D. into the page. E. to the right.
Answer key says C. downward; please explain. Thanks!
intgis problem we need to consider the Fleming's left hand rule
stretch your right hand thumb ( will give direction of force) , index finger ( direction of magnetic field) and middle finger( directionof current ) in such a way that each of them are mutually perpendicular to each other. now allign your index finger to the right (magnetic field), middle finger into the page (current), then thumb will alligned in downward direction.
so option (c) is correct

Comment in case any doubt, will reply for sure. Goodluck

Within a uniform magnetic field B, a straight wire is carrying current in the direction shown in this figure. The direction of this uniform magnetic field is denoted by the blue dots. (Think about what these dots means. This was taught in my lectures.) B. What is the direction of the magnetic force acting on this current-carrying wire? The magnetic force points: A to the right: B. out of the page; C. Into the page: D. to the left; O...

Lab Homework - Force on a Current-Carrying Wire This homework will be due when you come to lab the week of November 4. A horseshoe magnet, with its north and south poles indicated, is shown in the figure below. Between the poles of the magnet is a wire perpendicular to the page, with current out of the page. a) Draw magnetic field lines for the magnet. Explain why you drew the field lines the way you did. b) If there...
Q2. (12 p) The diagram shows a wire carrying current 11 and a loop carrying current 12. Side of the loop has length L.
