And you discover that the water all is sliding from this platform to the right. You have to conclude that there is an asymmetry. And you are right. Climbing down you see that the platform is inclined to the right. | |

If your charge carriers are negatively charged, then you must use $I \to -I$. The magnetic field generated by this current still obeys the right hand rule, so there is no asymmetry. | |
