A current flows in a wire running between the S and N poles of a magnet lying horizontally as shown in Figure below:

The force on the wire due to the magnet is directed:

(a) fron N to S
(b) from S to N
(c) vertically downwards
(d) vertically upwards

Solution

(c) vertically downwards
Using Fleming's left-hand rule, we find that the force on wire should act vertically downwards.
