Question

Using the Left Hand Rule, if motion is away from you and the current is left, which way is the field?

A. Down
B. Left
C. Up
D. Right

Answer 1

C. Up

Step-by-step explanation:

• To apply the Left Hand Rule, point your left thumb in the direction of the current and your left fingers in the direction of the motion. The direction in which your left palm faces is the direction of the magnetic field. In this case, if the motion is away from you (i.e., in the direction of your eyes), and the current is left, then the magnetic field will be directed upwards.
