Question

A current is clockwise around the outside edge of this page and a uniform magnetic field is directed parallel to the page, from left to right. If the magnetic force is the only force acting on the page, the page will turn so the right edge: A) moves toward you B) moves away from you C) moves to your right D) moves to your left E) does not move

Answer 1

A) moves toward you

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is (a), moves toward you. The equation is F_magnetic =ILBsinθ. If the current is clockwise around the outside edge of the paper, current is flowing down the right edge of the paper. The current is flowing from left to right. Use the right hand rule. Place your fingers in the direction of the current (down on the right edge) and sweep your fingers in the direction of the magnetic field (to the right). Thumb (the direction of the force) points towards you.
