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.
