Explain the left-hand rule in 2 sentences.
Hold the left palm so field lines enter it, four fingers along the current. The thumb turned 90° shows the force.

Why is there no force on a wire in the field if there is no current?
The Ampère force acts only on a current-carrying conductor; in F = BIl with I = 0 we get F = 0.
