    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    Lenz's law states that the direction of the ... The direction of an induced current can be determined using the right-hand rule to show which direction of ...

  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. Lorentz force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_force

    In physics, specifically in electromagnetism, the Lorentz force law is the combination of electric and magnetic force on a point charge due to electromagnetic fields. The Lorentz force , on the other hand, is a physical effect that occurs in the vicinity of electrically neutral, current-carrying conductors causing moving electrical charges to ...

  6. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    Faraday's law of induction (or simply Faraday's law) is a law of electromagnetism predicting how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force (emf). This phenomenon, known as electromagnetic induction , is the fundamental operating principle of transformers , inductors , and many types of electric ...

  7. 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.

  8. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    From the right hand rule, this is directed in the −x direction, opposite to the velocity v of the metal sheet. This force accelerates the electron giving it a component of velocity opposite to the sheet. Collisions of these electrons with the atoms of the sheet exert a drag force on the sheet. Eddy current brake.

  9. Faraday paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_paradox

    The sign is chosen based upon Lenz's law: the field generated by the motion must oppose the change in flux caused by the rotation. For example, the circuit with the radial segment in Figure 2 according to the right-hand rule adds to the applied B-field, tending to increase the flux linkage.
