The direction of the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field is given by:

Answer: Fleming's left-hand rule.

  • A Fleming's left-hand rule
  • B Ohm's circuit law
  • C Lenz's induction law
  • D Coulomb's force law

Correct answer: A. Fleming's left-hand rule

Explanation: Fleming's left-hand rule gives the direction of the motor force.

Magnetic Field Lines Around a Straight WireIfield forms concentric circles around the wire (right-hand rule)

The magnetic field around a long straight current-carrying wire forms concentric circles, with direction given by the right-hand rule (point thumb along I, fingers curl in the direction of B).

Concept context

Magnetic force on moving charges and currents, the Biot-Savart law, Ampere's law, and the cyclotron - how electric currents create and respond to magnetic fields.
