Problem
A straight horizontal conductor is placed along the east–west line in a uniform vertical magnetic field directed upward.
(i) If the current in the conductor is 4A flowing from east to west, state the direction of the force acting on the conductor.
(ii) State the direction of the force if the current is reversed (flows from west to east).
