 Hey Guys,

So I know that a moving current, such as in a current-carryin conductor produces both a magnetic field + electric field. And the direction of this magnetic field can be determine by the Right-Hand Screw Rule (thumb-> current direction, finger->wrap around to represent magnetic field). And this magnetic field will exert a magnetic force which can be calculate via F = Bil sintheta but since force is a vector, HOW CAN WE DETERMINE THE DIRECTION OF MAGNETIC FORCE? (is it through Righ-Hand Palm Rule or Righ-Hand Screw Rule)

I would greatly appreciate any help. I have been stuck on this concept for a while. Thanks in advance
