Three Right Hand Rules of Electromagnetism – Magnetic Force
Teaching electricity and magnetism is complicated by the challenge that the magnetic forces are perpendicular to the motion of the particles and currents. This requires a three-dimensional perspective which can introduce a variable of a “wrong” direction. To prevent errors, … Continue reading
