Exam points
- use the left-hand rule to draw the force arrow on a current-carrying wire
- determine a missing field, current or force direction from a labelled diagram
- apply the rule to a moving proton by treating its motion as conventional current
6.13 Left-hand rule question 1
Diagram 1 shows some apparatus used to demonstrate the magnetic force on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field.
Diagram 1
Diagram 2 shows four different arrangements of the apparatus.
The symbol - shows that the current is directed out of the page.
Which arrangement of the apparatus will cause there to be an upwards magnetic force on the wire?
