How come with situations regarding Fleming's left hand rule, the magnetic field lines are always straight instead of curved? The way I see it is; they should be curved. Unless they take the tangent to the curved line as being the direction of the magnetic field. And even if they did this, because a current-carrying conductor may be so long, the direction of the force on the conductor would be different to the direction of the force on the other side of it? I do NOT understand!
With regard to a loop of wire carrying a current: How do you know which side of the wire behaves as a north pole, & which behaves like a south pole? It's not as if one side has the magnetic field lines coming out of it and the other side has the magnetic field lines going into it, BECAUSE according to the right hand grip rule, the magnetic field lines are of a uniform distance all around?? Any answers, appreciated. Thanks
Hold both hands out with thumbs up, and then curl your fingers. Which hand matches the image? Admittedly, the hand is crude, but the simple animation didn't warrant the time to develop a more complex/realistic model.

Whoever posted this video...THANK YOU!
After reading my textbook 20+ times, I still for some reason couldn't get the right answers.
This video helped clear up the hand placement. Thanks!
