A voltage source creates an electric current in a circuit. At one point in the current path, the thin conducting wire is replaced with a wide but thin ribbon of conducting material which is located in the plane of the page. The region surrounding the wide conducting ribbon contains a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the page, as shown. a. If the charge carriers of the electric current are positively charged, then which option best indicates the direction of the velocity of the charge carriers as they travel through the conducting strip? b. If the charge carriers of the electric current are positively charged, then which option best indicates the direction of the magnetic force on the charge carriers as they pass through the conducting strip? c. If the charge carriers of the electric current are positively charged, then which option best indicates the resulting charge distribution on the conducting ribbon?
