Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
A current-carrying conductor is placed perpendicularly in a magnetic field, Fleming’s left-hand rule can be used to find the direction of force acting on a conductor.
When a current-carrying conductor is placed in an external magnetic field, it experiences a force that is perpendicular to both the field and the direction of the current flow. The Fleming’s left-hand rule is used to determine the direction of the force acting on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field. The thumb denotes the direction of force applied, the forefinger denotes the direction of magnetic field, and the middle finger denotes the direction of current through the conductor in Fleming's left-hand rule. So, thumb is force, forefinger is magnetic field, and middle finger is current.
The fleming’s left-hand rule states, “When a current-carrying conductor is placed in an external magnetic field, the conductor experiences a force perpendicular to both the field and the current flow's direction.”
