Which of the following statements is true about a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field? @Somy
A. Reversing the current direction will cause the force deflecting the wire to be parallel to the magnetic field.

B. Reversing the current direction will cause the force deflecting the wire to be perpendicular to the magnetic field but in the opposite direction.

C. Reversing the current direction will not affect the force deflecting the wire.

well since reverse means just in opposite direction then that means its C because example look at the same pic

oh wait

somy · Answer

its most probably B 
my bad i got kinda confused

anonymous · Answer

yea i was just thinking it would be B ? 
- After viewing the picture

somy · Answer

yeah lol same here, first i was just doing it with my left hand but when i looked at the pic i thought it'd be B

anonymous · Answer

but isnt it A MAYBE?

somy · Answer

Force is always perpendicular to to both current AND magnetic field :) remember your previous question :D
