Which way does the wire in the diagram below tend to move?

"


According to Fleming's left-hand rule, the wire in the diagram will move outwards (out of the page).


Explanation

According to Fleming's left-hand rule, when left hand's thumb, forefinger (or, index finger) and centre finger (or, middle finger) are held mutually perpendicular to one another and adjust in such a way that the forefinger points in the direction of the magnetic field, and the centre finger points in the direction of the current, then the direction in which thumb points, gives the direction of force acting on the conductor.
