The finite direction table flips when the current arrow reverses. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Reversing current keeps the force magnitude

The same field 2, current 3, and length 4 still give 24 newtons.

Only the finite force direction flips

The reversed current changes the direction table result from up to down, not the value 24.
