Expert Solution
Step 1

Given: 

Direction of force and magnetic field 

Step 2

The Fleming's left hand rule states that if we spread the fore finger middle finger and the thumb of the left hand mutually perpendicular to each other, then thumb gives the direction of force, fore finger gives the direction of magnetic field and the middlefinger gives the direction of current in the wire.
