  2. Electromagnetic coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_coil

    The direction of the magnetic field produced by a coil can be determined by the right hand grip rule. If the fingers of the right hand are wrapped around the magnetic core of a coil in the direction of conventional current through the wire, the thumb will point in the direction the magnetic field lines pass through the coil. The end of a ...

  3. Right-hand rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule

    A magnetic field in a coil of wire and the electric current in the wire. The force of a magnetic field on a charged particle, the magnetic field itself, and the velocity of the object. The vorticity at any point in the field of the flow of a fluid; The induced current from motion in a magnetic field (known as Fleming's right-hand rule).

  4. Oersted's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oersted's_law

    The magnetic field lines encircle the current-carrying wire. The magnetic field lines lie in a plane perpendicular to the wire. If the direction of the current is reversed, the direction of the magnetic field reverses. The strength of the field is directly proportional to the magnitude of the current. The strength of the field at any point is ...

  5. Fleming's left-hand rule for motors - Wikipedia

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

    The direction of the induced magnetic field is also sometimes remembered by the right-hand grip rule, as depicted in the illustration, with the thumb showing the direction of the conventional current, and the fingers showing the direction of the magnetic field. The existence of this magnetic field can be confirmed by placing magnetic compasses ...

  6. Lenz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz's_law

    The induced magnetic field inside any loop of wire always acts to keep the magnetic flux in the loop constant. The direction of an induced current can be determined using the right-hand rule to show which direction of current flow would create a magnetic field that would oppose the direction of changing flux through the loop. [8]

  7. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    But when the small coil is moved in or out of the large coil (B), the magnetic flux through the large coil changes, inducing a current which is detected by the galvanometer (G). [ 1 ] 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 ...

  8. File:Coil right-hand rule.svg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Coil_right-hand_rule.svg

    Direction of magnetic field (''B'') for an electrical coil. 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.

  9. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    The magnetic field (B, green) is directed down through the plate. The Lorentz force of the magnetic field on the electrons in the metal induces a sideways current under the magnet. The magnetic field, acting on the sideways moving electrons, creates a Lorentz force opposite to the velocity of the sheet, which acts as a drag force on the sheet.
