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.
When the fingers are curled to point in direction of conventional current flow around the core, the thumb points in the direction of the magnetic field. File usage The following 2 pages use this file:

English: Right hand rule for a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field B. The thumb points in the direction of I (a positive current; the "+" and "−" indicate relative voltages for a resistive wire). The fingers point in the direction of B. The Lorentz force then points upwards perpendicular to the palm
