Imagine a long vertical wire carrying a current that is flowing vertically upward. If we place this wire in a region where there is a magnetic field pointing North, what will be the direction of the magnetic force on this wire? (Caution: "North" is NOT vertically up. Vertical means pointing toward the sky from ground).
