Homework Statement
A wire along the z-axis carries a current of 6.8 A in the +z direction. Find the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on a 6.1-cm long length of the wire by a uniform magnetic field with magnitude 0.36 T in the -x direction.
Homework Equations
F=I(LxB)
The Attempt at a Solution
Now i already know the answer but i am confused as to what the direction the Force, field, and length are. I know this equation is dealing with cross product but if someone could explain to me in detail the direction of the Force (F), the field (B), and the length (L).
