Fleming's Left-Hand Rule: If we stretch the thumb,forefinger,and middle finger of our left hand such that they are mutually perpendicular to each other,then the forefinger points in the direction of the magnetic field,the middle finger points in the direction of the current,and the thumb gives the direction of the force acting on the conductor.
