Figure 4 shows a conductor carrying current into the paper.

Another wire, parallel to the first, carrying current in the SAME direction, is positioned at Point P. On Figure 4, show the direction of the force on this conductor and clearly label it with an F.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
