The figure shows the motion of electrons in a wire that is near the N The wire will he pushed: pole of a magnet.
Correct answer: B. Away from the magnet
- A. Upwards
- B. Away from the magnet
- C. Downward
- D. Toward the magnet
Explanation
Right-Hand Rule Explanation:When electrons move in a wire near the north pole of a magnet, the right-hand rule for current-carrying wires is applied:The right-hand rule determines that the force exerted on the wire is away from the magnet. The magnetic field produced by the current in the wire interacts with the external magnetic field from the north pole of the magnet, causing a repulsive force that pushes the wire away from the magnet.### Summary:The correct direction of the force exerted on the wire due to the interaction of magnetic fields is away from the magnet (Option B) as per the right-hand rule for current-carrying wires near a magnetic field.

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
