Right Hand Rule #1

Get a hint
Hint
  • Magnetic field around a single current-carrying wire

  • Thumb: points in direction of current in

    wire

  • Fingers: wrap around in the direction of the resulting magnetic field

Hint
  • Magnetic field inside a current-carrying coil (solenoid) or single loop of wire.

  • Fingers: wrap in direction of current in

    coils

  • Thumb: points in directions of field

    inside the coil (toward North pole)

  • The field around a solenoid is similar to

    the field around a bar magnet

Right Hand Rule #3

  • Force on a current-carrying wire inside an external magnetic field

  • If a current is perpendicular to an external

    magnetic field (or some component is

    perpendicular to the field) there is a force

    on the wire that is perpendicular to both

    the current and the external field

  • Fingers: external magnetic field

  • Thumb: current in wire

  • Palm: points in direction of resulting

    force on wire
