Question

A wire placed vertically between the poles of a horseshoe magnet, such that the north pole is to your left, carries a direct current flowing upwards. The wire will experience a force tending to deflect it to

  1. Your left
  2. Your right
  3. Away from you, into the page
  4. Towards you, out of the page

hintHint:

Away from you, into the page

The correct answer is: Away from you, into the page


    According to the right hand rule, if a current in a wire is flowing in upward direction i.e., pointing directly away from you while the wire is in a magnetic field that points from left to right.

    Read the following statements and choose the correct option:
    Assertion:
    If a proton passes through a region of space without being deflected, the only possibility is that there is no magnetic field. Reason: Force is directly proportional to the magnetic field applied.
