    Question

    When magnetic field is acting towards north and current is moving in east to west direction through a conductor, then the conductor will move direction

    A.

    in the upward

    B.

    towards left

    C.

    towards right

    D.

    in the downward

    Correct option is D

    The correct answer is (D) in the downward.

    Explanation:
    Using Fleming's Left-Hand Rule:

    • First finger: Direction of magnetic field (towards north).
    • Second finger: Direction of current (from east to west).
    • Thumb: Direction of the force or motion of the conductor.

    With the magnetic field towards the north and current flowing from east to west, the conductor will experience a force in the downward direction.

    Incorrect Options Explanations:

    • (A) In the upward: Incorrect, the force is directed downward.
    • (B) Towards left: Incorrect, the force is directed downward, not left.
    • (C) Towards right: Incorrect, the force is directed downward, not right.

    Information Booster:

    • Fleming's Left-Hand Rule: Describes the direction of force acting on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field.
    • Electromagnetic Force: Key principle in the working of electric motors and generators.
