Question

A current- carrying straight conductor is placed in the east-west direction.
What will be the direction of the force experienced by this conductor due
to earth's magnetic field? How will this force get affected on reversing the
direction of flow of current? (Direction of earth's magnetic field is from G-
south to G-north. Current is from west to east initially)
Vertically downwards
o Vertically upwards
Along east
Along west​

Answer 1

Answer:

The force will be vertically upwards

Explanation:

Acc,to flemings left hand rule the current is flowing from west to east( middle finger)

The magnetic field is from south to north( index finger) while the force( thumb ) will be directed upwards
