The equation for the force on the wire is given as F=BIL, where B is the strength of the magnetic field, I is the current in amps and L is the length of the wire in and perpendicular to the field.

The charges move from the higher potential energy terminal on the battery, through the light bulb, through the switch, and back to the lower potential energy terminal on the battery.
