Question 12
Easy

A straight conductor carrying a conventional current I I\,I is placed along the yyy-axis in a region of a uniform magnetic field BBB, as shown in the diagram.

Coordinate System

The current flows in the +y+y+y direction, and the magnetic field is oriented in the −x-x−x direction.

What is the direction of the magnetic force acting on the conductor?

Along the +z+z+z direction (out of the page)

Along the −z-z−z direction (into the page)

Along the +x+x+x direction

Along the −y-y−y direction
