Question

A horizontal wire that runs east-west carries a steady current to the east. A C-shaped magnet (see Fig. $19.3 \mathrm{a}$ ) is placed so that the wire runs between the poles, with the north pole above the wire and the south pole below. What is the direction of the magnetic force on the wire between the poles?
