Question
State the rule to determine the direction of a force experienced by a current-carrying straight conductor placed in a magnetic field which is perpendicular to it.
Solution
Fleming's Left-Hand Rule, also known as the Motor Rule, states that the thumb, first finger, and middle finger of the left hand should all be extended such that they are perpendicular to one another. The thumb indicates the direction of the conductor's motion (i.e., the direction of force acting on the conductor) if the first (fore) finger points in the direction of the magnetic field, the middle finger points in the direction of current, and so on.

The graph (fig A) illustrates the correlation between the number of protons (x-axis) and the number of neutrons (y-axis) for elements A, B, C, D, and E in the periodic table. These elements are denoted by the letters rather than their conventional symbols. When the element C, depicted in the graph, undergoes radioactive decay, it releases radioactive rays. When these rays are directed into the plane of the paper in the presence of a magnetic field, as indicated in the fig B, they experience deflection, causing them to move upwards.
