Solution

Dear student, The rule used to determine the direction of force experiences by current carrying conductor in a magnetic field is the Fleming's left hand rule. It states that whenever an 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.
