Need help understanding 1 mark question: Induced emf between 2 coils

The question asks about the direction of the force acting on the right coil in the moment where the switch is closed (small change in flux, emf induced). It says it is acting towards the right due to Lenz's law, but I am confused and cannot figure out these directions. I thought that the direction of the field lines inside the coil would be horizontal, meaning the force would be perpendicular. Could someone explain this to me? I remember looking at a similar example a while back and its slipped my mind.

nevermind i resolved this, i realise now that the force is linked to magnetic repulsion, not found using fleming's left hand rule
