There is no problem, I just don't understand in which direction the force will go. Please refer to the picture below.

I HAVE NO IDEA! please someone help... I'm desperate
james11223 said:Yes I do, can you please tell me the answers that you got though?
james11223 said:4) That is a "q". But I still really do not understand how you would do this one. I get that your thumb follow the arrow above the V and then your four fingers go into the paper. Thus the way my palm is facing shows that the force would be upwards. But would that be reversed since the current is flowing counterclockwise? So would the answer be downwards?
james11223 said:Okay, but how would you determine where the force is?
james11223 said:Dont the field lines go into the page? Because the symbol is a + inside of circle, so wouldn't that mean they go into the page?
james11223 said:OHH! so how would you do it in this case??
would your thumb align with the positive charge??, but then what else would you do..
james11223 said:but since when is there a magnetic field?
I thougt there was just a current going counterclockwise?

james11223 said:I seriously do not understand, I think I'd get it for the next problems if you just gave me the answer for this one so that I could use the same method for the others. I am self-studying this course and I seriously cannot explain this one, can you please at least guide me through it but give me the answer in the process? Because I am very lost on this one..

Fewmet said:In that fourth situation, the clockwise current causes a magnetic field out of the page. From the right hand rule, a positive charge moving right across a field coming out of the page experience a downward force.
james11223 said:Okay... I think I'm understnading.
Is the general consensus that the force is downwards into the paper?
james11223 said:Oh wow I LOVE SKINS <333
but is the force down into the paper or just in the downwards direction? As this is only to clarify and not giving me the answer outright
james11223 said:gneill, this is an elementary question, the answer is into the paper!
