Explanation:

Conventional current will flow anticlockwise due to the orientation of the cell. To determine the force experienced by a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field, use (any appropriate hand-rule convention or) Flemming's left hand rule which states that if we arrange our thumb, forefinger and middle finger of the left-hand perpendicular to each other, then the thumb points towards the direction of the force experienced by the conductor, the forefinger points towards the direction of the magnetic field and the middle finger points towards the direction of the electric current.
