A current runs through the wire shown at right while the wire passes through a region of constant external magnetic field as indicated in the figure. What is the direction of the magnetic field? If the strength of the magnetic field is B = 0.05 T and the current is I = 3 A, what is the magnitude of the force on 1 meter of this wire in newtons?? F = N If the current flows right to left through the wire, in what direction will the wire be pushed?
