A current-carrying conductor experiences a force upward in a magnetic field that acts perpendicularly to and out of the plane of the paper. What is direction of the current in the conductor?

Choose one answer.
a. The current in the conductor is toward right.
b. The current in the conductor is toward left.
c. The current in the conductor goes downward.
d. The current in the conductor goes upward.

b. The current in the conductor is toward left.

lol if you want to correct someone's behavior at least spell "help" right

To determine the direction of the current in the conductor, you can use the right-hand rule.

Imagine pointing your right thumb in the direction of the magnetic field (out of the plane of the paper in this case), and curling your fingers around the conductor in the direction of the current.

Using the right-hand rule, you will find that the force experienced by the conductor and the current in the conductor are in opposite directions.

Since the force experienced by the conductor is upward, the current in the conductor must be in the opposite direction — downward.

Therefore, the correct answer is c. The current in the conductor goes downward.

This is not a place to thoughtlessly dump your multiple choice questions. If you are not going to show work, find another place for hep.
