Answer 1

the wire to experience a force and therefore move.

Question 2

To increase the size of force

Answer 2

• Increase the current in the wire.
• Increase the number of individual wires.
• Increase the strength of the magnetic field.
• Increase the length of the wire within the magnetic field.

Question 3

Changing the direction of the magnetic field or current changes

Answer 3

the direction of the force.

Question 4

fleming’s left hand rule fingers

Answer 4

• First finger = Field (always N to S)
• SeCond finger = Current
• ThuMb = Movement or force

Question 5

Answer 5

Field: into the page. Current: left to right. Force: up

Question 6

left hand rule on Negative particle

Answer 6
