A conducting wire hangs by two strings in a space between the poles of a horseshoe magnet. When no current passes through the conductor, the strings hang straight downwards, but when a current passes through the conductor in the shown direction, it swings such that the strings make an angle with the vertical -- do you know why the conductor swings like that when an electric current passes through it?
