Explanation / Answer

The conductor has a current in a magnetic field creates a magnetic force. The direction of force depends on the position of the magnet to the wire and the direction of current through the conductor.

Place the conductor on a horse shoe magnet and allow the current to flow through it by closing the switch and with the help of a battery [6V] .Take a string and placed it inside the conductor and swing this string towards the magnet, when the magnetic north pole is down.

When we replace the magnetic poles, the wire is deflected in the opposite direction, away from the magnet.Again, reversing the current through the wire while leaving the magnet in the same position,deflection is to change the current direction is reversed, the swing away from the magnet.

Conclusion:- The conductor has a current in a magnetic field which creates a magnetic force and can be described by the right-hand rule for magnetic force acting on a charge.

The right hand rule states that: to determine the direction of the magnetic force on a positive moving charge F, point the thumb of the right hand in the direction of v, the fingers in the direction of B, and a perpendicular to the palm points in the direction of F.
