so say if there was a coil and its connected to a battery and the coil was standing vertically.
if you drop a magnet in there face down at north pole, the coil would create a field that is in the opposite way to the field lines for the magnet. so the magnet would decelerate as it would repel. this means the force is upwards but isnt the magnetic field direction upwards too? i dont get that. the field lines represent the direction of the magnetic field doesn't it? or is that the force.
and do you use your left hand to find the current direction? im guessing not because it is dealing with electrons.
