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!
