  2. Fleming's right-hand rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleming's_right-hand_rule

    Fleming's right hand rule. In electromagnetism, Fleming's right-hand rule (for generators) shows the direction of induced current when a conductor attached to a circuit moves in a magnetic field. It can be used to determine the direction of current in a generator's windings.

  3. Right-hand rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule

    In mathematics and physics, the right-hand rule is a convention and a mnemonic, utilized to define the orientation of axes in three-dimensional space and to determine the direction of the cross product of two vectors, as well as to establish the direction of the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field.

  4. FBI mnemonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI_mnemonics

    The various FBI mnemonics (for electric motors) show the direction of the force on a conductor carrying a current in a magnetic field as predicted by Fleming's left hand rule for motors [1] and Faraday's law of induction. Other mnemonics exist that use a right hand rule for predicting resulting motion from a preexisting current and field.

  5. Oersted's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oersted's_law

    In electromagnetism, Ørsted's law, also spelled Oersted's law, is the physical law stating that an electric current induces a magnetic field. [ 2 ] This was discovered on 21 April 1820 by Danish physicist Hans Christian Ørsted (1777–1851), [ 3 ] [ 4 ] when he noticed that the needle of a compass next to a wire carrying current turned so ...

  6. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    Both dl and dA have a sign ambiguity; to get the correct sign, the right-hand rule is used, as explained in the article Kelvin–Stokes theorem. For a planar surface Σ , a positive path element d l of curve ∂ Σ is defined by the right-hand rule as one that points with the fingers of the right hand when the thumb points in the direction of ...

  7. Fleming's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleming's_rules

    Fleming's rules are a pair of visual mnemonics for determining the relative directions of magnetic field, electric current, and velocity of a conductor. [1]There are two rules, one is Fleming's left-hand rule for motors which applies to situations where an electric current induces motion in the conductor in the presence of magnetic fields (Lorentz force).

    Once upon a time, the symbol E (for electromotive force) was used to designate voltages. Then, every student learned the phrase ELI the ICE man as a reminder that: For an inductive (L) circuit, the EMF (E) is ahead of the current (I)
