A magnetic field is made by electric currents that is induced from opposite terminals of charges. When a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, the electrons move to a certain direction. The guide used for this is Fleming's Left-Hand Rule as shown in the picture. It shows that the motion of the electron is in right angles or perpendicular to the force of the magnetic field. The resulting path of the direction of the electron will be in circular motion.This is the concept used in transformers where a voltage is induced from coils of currents. The electrons move in a helical or circular motion.
