Solution and Explanation

Fleming's left-hand rule states that if you stretch the thumb, the index finger, and the middle finger of your left hand at right angles to each other, then:
The thumb gives the direction of the force (motion of the conductor),
The index finger gives the direction of the magnetic field,
The middle finger gives the direction of the current in the conductor. This rule helps to determine the direction of the force acting on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field.
