# The Lorentz Force: The Left-Hand Rule Using the left-hand rule, the direction of the Lorentz force acting on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field can be determined. **Explanation:** * **Thumb:** Points in the direction of electron movement. * **Index finger:** Points in the direction of the magnetic field. * **Middle finger:** Points in the direction of the force acting on the current-carrying conductor. This is the Lorentz force. **Diagram:** A diagram shows a conductor (represented by several parallel lines) in a magnetic field. The magnetic field (indicated by the arrows) is directed from the north (N) pole towards the south (S) pole of a magnet. Arrows show the direction of electron flow and the force on the conductor.
