  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Fleming's right-hand rule - Wikipedia

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

    There is also a Fleming's left-hand rule (for electric motors). The appropriately handed rule can be recalled from the letter "g", which is in "right" and "generator". These mnemonics are named after British engineer John Ambrose Fleming, who invented them. An equivalent version of Fleming's right-hand rule is the left-hand palm rule. [2]

  5. Maze-solving algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze-solving_algorithm

    Traversal using right-hand rule. One effective rule for traversing mazes is the Hand On Wall Rule, also known as either the left-hand rule or the right-hand rule.If the maze is simply connected, that is, all its walls are connected together or to the maze's outer boundary, then by keeping one hand in contact with one wall of the maze the solver is guaranteed not to get lost and will reach a ...

  6. Oersted's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oersted's_law

    Using the right hand rule to find the direction of the magnetic field. The direction of the magnetic field at a point, the direction of the arrowheads on the magnetic field lines, which is the direction that the "north pole" of the compass needle points, can be found from the current by the right-hand rule.

  7. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    The direction of ω is chosen using the right-hand rule. With this convention for depicting rotation, the velocity is given by a vector cross product as v = ω × r , {\displaystyle \mathbf {v} ={\boldsymbol {\omega }}\times \mathbf {r} ,} which is a vector perpendicular to both ω and r ( t ) , tangential to the orbit, and of magnitude ω r .

  8. Talk:Right-hand rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Right-hand_rule

    Please explain how can we relate a screw rule with a hand rule first. There is no way we can relate the right hand rule and the right hand grip (thump) rule. One (right hand rule) describes the direction of current produced and the other (thump rule) just describes the direction of magnetic field produced when a current moves through a coil.

  9. Rotating spheres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_spheres

    where u R is a unit vector pointing from the axis of rotation to one of the spheres, and Ω is a vector representing the angular rotation, with magnitude ω and direction normal to the plane of rotation given by the right-hand rule, m is the mass of the ball, and R is the distance from the axis of rotation to the spheres (the magnitude of the ...
