Answer #1

The magnetic field in a dipole moves from north pole to south pole which means here the direction of magnetic field is in left direction.

Now since the current in the wire part PQ is moving downwards we can use the Lorrentz's force to find the force on the wire. which is given as -

F = I(dLxB)

where IdL is the current element vector and B is the magnetic field vector

Now the direction of F can be given by using right hand Thumb rule which indicates for the given question that the force is into the screen. Thus Option (a) is correct.
