Figure shows three examples of current-carrying conductors in magnetic fields. For each example, decide whether there will be a magnetic force on the conductor. If there is a force, in what direction will it act? Note the cross in the circle shows the current is into the plane of the paper, as in Figure.

Question Image

The magnetic field pattern around a current carrying wire. The diagram also shows the convention used to indicate the direction of current.
