...induced EMF is the opposite of the direction that would be given by applying the right-hand rule ; ie if the thumb of the right hand points in the direction of the lines, the fingers do not give the direction of the EMF 1 The reason for this name is as follows... | |

...the point midway between them will be into the paper. This may be seen by use of the right hand rule. If the thumb of the right hand points in the direction of current through the wire, then the fingers will curl in the direction of the magnetic field (or magnetic flux... | |

...runs toward (positive) and away (negative) relative to screen space. According to the right hand rule, if the thumb of the right hand points in the direction of the positive X-axis and the index finger points in the direction of the positive Y-axis, then the middle... | |

...vector created by a current loop is given by a convention known as the right-hand-rule. This means that if the thumb of the right hand points in the direction of J then the fingers of the right hand curl along the direction of the field B caused by J, as we illustrate... | |

...systems are of two types: right-handed systems and lefthanded systems. An xyz system is right-handed if the thumb of the right hand points in the direction of the positive z-axis when the fingers of the right hand are curled naturally — in a way that does... | |

...circle, and its magnitude is given by Eq. (24.1-1). The direction can be obtained from a right-hand rule: If the thumb of the right hand points in the direction of the current, the curled fingers point in the direction of the magnetic field. If the current is measured... | |
