Answer:

Flemmings' left hand rule and Downward direction

Step-by-step explanation:

The person could able to determine the path of force by applying the left-hand rule of Fleming.

Via holding the thumb the forefinger and second finger at right angles for one other

The left-hand rule is applied in the electric motors

On the other hand, the right-hand rule is applied for electric generators.

So different hands are used for the different thing as there is a difference between the cause and effect

Therefore in this case there is a left hand rule used and the direction is downward
