Three Right Hand Rules of Electromagnetism – Magnetic Force

Posted on May 11, 2020 by VCE Physics

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, let us be “right” and use the right-hand rule.
