The right hand rule can be memorized as a mnemonic: FIB (force-current-field) where F is your thumb, I is your index finger and B is your middle finger. Note that F =thumb is up, I=index is pointing forward and B=middle is perperndicular on your index (or on your palm). The left hand rule is also useful and can be memorize like FBI. These mnemonics help me to remember these useful rules.

Its FBI not FIB. Please be more careful when commenting advice like this

GREAT VIDEO! However at about the 5:00 mark, you overlooked a very important concept that separates the concept of gravity vs E-field. You forget to mention the -direction / polarity- of the charge in an E-field vs the (non-polorized) mass in a G-field.

@AceFrolic720 If you are thinking of the positive charge flowing, then you should use the Right Hand Rule. Positive charge flowing one way is mathematically the same as negative charge flowing the opposite way. You should get the same result for your force vector either way.
@derekowens14 жыл бұрын
@freerider10000 The actual direction is a source of constant confusion because there are two ways to think of it. If you imagine the current to be positive charge flowing, what we call conventional current, then you use the right hand rule. If you imagine it to be negative charge flowing in the other direction, what we call electron flow, then you use the left hand rule. Positive charge flowing in one direction is mathematically equivalent to negative charge flowing in the other direction.

I absolutely agree with you. I'm doing A level physics and we use the Left hand rule for motors.

John Fleming lived in the years between the 19th and 20th centuries. So it must be remembered that he would have been using "conventional current", ie flowing from the positive of his supply. Nowadays the tendancy is towards using electron flow as a current and the direction is from the negative of the supply. Regardless, as the tutor here says, they interpret as the same thing. Clasp a bar in both hands with your thumbs pointing towards each other then your fingers curl in same direction.

Hi, I'm just wondering why you use the Right hand rule to determine the direction of a magnetic force instead of Flemings Left hand motor rule? From my understanding the Flemings Left hand motor rule says the First finger points along the Field direction (From N to S). The seCond finger is the Current direction (from + to -) and then the Thumb gives the direction of the Thrust (or the Force). (Note I'm from the UK and only use Right hand Rule for generators and stick to conventional current)

I dont understand the bit about the magnet and using the right hand rule, are your fingers not wrapped around when the actual field lines are straight?

Why didn't you you show at the very end what direction the force would be on the charged particle? I was JUST about to confirm using the right hand rule what direction it would be. I think it would be into the screen at that orientation, being that the tangent of the magnetic field would be pointed up towards the top of the screen, the velocity is adjacent towards the left of the screen, and therefore using right hand rule the force would be into the screen.
@Cyno713 жыл бұрын
i'm confused, do all charged particles hav a magnetic field around them; so in your last example, the charge q. so are there 2 magnetic fields interacting in that situation. what i'm trying to understand is determining the force etc when we have an interaction of magnetic fields produced by a permanent magnet and an electromagnet (i.e. from current in wire)
@algol2919 жыл бұрын
At the median point of a magnets force, the particle flows in the opposite direction? But, when electricity is applied to a large wire, the magnetic flow will always be constant? Is that right?

Does a magnetic field spiral from a starting point to an end point, or do magnets produce separate lines of force, individual from one another?

@zsj382387304 No, it's not uniform. The field lines would be curved. Similar to the field around an electric dipole.

Hi Mr.Owens. I was wondering if the reason of a moving charge going downwards is because it produces a magnetic field that repels with the North pole. Please tell me if I'm right or wrong, thanks.

+Fatma Goma'a If I understand your equation correctly, the only difference between them is a constant mu or the permeability. It's just like the relationship between E and D, the electric field and the electric field density. mu is the material property of the stuff you're in.
