1.	A straight currrent- carryingconductor is placed ina magneticfield such that itslength is perpendicular to thefield .Nameand state the rule used to the findthedirection of the forceactingon the conductor .
Answer» Solution :In this caseFleming.slefthand ruleis used to findthe directionof theforceactingon the conductor . Stretch the THUMB , FOREFINGER and middle finger of your LEFT hand such that they are mutually PERPENDICULAR (figure 13.22). If the first (force) finger points in the direction of magnetif fieldand second (middle ) finger pointsin the direction of current,thenthumb will pointin thedirectionof motionor the forceactingon the conductor .
