28. (a) (i)   Flemings left-hand rule:  
       Stretch the forefinger, the central finger and the thumb of your 
       left hand in mutually perpendicular directions. If the  
       forefinger shows the direction of the magnetic field and the  
       central finger that of the current, then the thumb will point 
       towards the direction of motion of the conductor or direction  
        of force /  
                          
 
    (ii) (1) Force on electron is maximum in Fig (i) because the direction  
           of motion of electron/current is at right angle/perpendicular to  
           that of magnetic field. 
          (2) Force on electron is minimum in Fig (iii) because the electron 
is   moving along / parallel to the direction of magnetic field

1. The strength of the 
magnetic field can be 
changed by changing the 
current.
