\n(a) Point the first finger of the left hand in the direction of the magnetic field from the North pole towards the South pole.
\n(b) The left hand is then rotated so that the second finger points in the direction of the current.
\n(c) The thumb indicates the direction of the magnetic force. This is also the direction of motion if the conductor is free to move.<\/li>\n
\n(a) Point the four fingers of the right hand in the direction of the field.
\n(b) Rotate your hand until the thumb points in the direction of the current.
\n(c) Do a slapping action. The direction of the slap is the direction of the magnetic force.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nMagnetic Force on a Current Carrying Conductor Experiment<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\n
\n(a) State the direction of the magnetic field.
\n(b) When the switch is closed, state the direction of
\n(i) the current,
\n(ii) the motion of the copper wire.
\nSolution:
\n<\/strong>(a) A
\n(b) (i) C \u00a0(ii) E<\/li>\n
\n
\n(a) State the direction of the magnetic field due to the permanent magnets.
\n(b) Describe the magnetic field pattern produced by the current.
\n(c) Compare the strength of the resultant magnetic field at point X and point Y.
\n(d) State the direction of the magnetic force on the wire.
\nSolution:<\/strong>
\n(a) From North to South
\n(b) Concentric circles in a clockwise direction
\n(c) Magnetic field at X is stronger
