Solution and Explanation
Fleming’s Left-hand Rule: This rule determines the direction of the force on a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field. Hold your left hand with your forefinger pointing in the direction of the magnetic field, your middle finger pointing in the direction of the current, and your thumb will point in the direction of the force on the conductor.
