Definition
The force from an external magnetic field is mutually perpendicular to both the magnetic field of a conductor and the direction of its current.
An example of force acting on a M.F and Current on a 2D plane
Fleming’s Left Hand Rule
Direction of Current based on charge of particles (FLHR)
- Positive - current is the same direction of particle travelled
- Negative - current is opposite the direction of particle travelled
- No force acts on neutral particle / entity

How does a force of an ext. Magnetic Field act on a conductor’s M.F and Current? ? The force from an external magnetic field is mutually perpendicular to both the magnetic field of a conductor and the direction of its current.
Direction of Current based on charge of particles in FLHR: ?
- Positive - current is the same direction of particle travelled
- Negative - current is opposite the direction of particle travelled
- No force acts on neutral particle / entity
