Force will act in outward direction.
1. Direction of force for conductor placed in magnetic field is identified with the help of Fleming's left hand rule.
2. Fleming's left hand rule states that "whenever a current carrying conductor is placed inside a magnetic field, a force acts on the conductor, in a direction perpendicular to both the directions of the current and the magnetic field."
3. Using left hand, thumb shows the direction of force.
4. Index finger directs magnetic field.
5. Second finger directs current.
6. Since magnetic field and current are given, direction of point of thumb gives the result.
7. Hand is posed in a position such that all the three fingers are at 90° with each other or perpendicular to each other.
