There is also a magnetic force on a current-carrying wire if the wire does not line up with the B-field lines. Recall that the B-field lines about a magnet run from the "north pole" to the "south pole."
Using the Righthand rule again...which way will the green wire be forced if
conventional (positive) current runs from the red wire thru the green to the black wire? (use the IlB force)
