A horizontal conductor is oriented north south and carries some
current. A positively charged particle located vertically above it and
having a velocity directed northward experiences an upward force. What
is the direction of the force if this charged particle were located to
the east of the conductor and had a velocity directed towards the
conductor.

12 in first case according to [IMAGE] Magnetic field
will be towards west at position of charge particle for this current in
conductor should be towards south in second case magnetic field at
position of particular is upward so according to
[IMAGE] force will be towards north.
