The Right Hand Curl Rule

[TheLionRichard]

But what exactly IS a magnetic field line? Is it electrons?

[krankerslol]

thank you helped a lot!

[c3vzn]

veritasium ftw!

[yallaskyler]

@ matrixeducation:U rock! I ♥ your explanation!

[pinkginger09]

You have a gift.

[joalx8900]

I wish my teacher looked like him >.<

[twiztor123]

@joalx8900 then i won't have to worry about falling asleep in class

[sh4p3shifter]

Why does the compass not point opposite to the current field thingy?

[455JKMan]

What About force? I'm lost......

[dportal2006]

Finally somebody competent enough to explain the right hand rule.

[rickyricky1231]

wow you r soooo helpful. thank u!!!!!!!!!! :D

[TheCreynolds]

My textbooks suck !!! I have learned more in 20 min on you tube then my whole year in class. You rock buddy thanks

[florarenales2002]

:) He was the best teacher ever. Gorgeous and smart! ;)

[kmarinas86]

Ok. GeGeMus12, sanjose21ca, and to other chicks who are turned on this guy, listen to me very closely.

This guy looks exactly like famous Japanese magnetician (err. magician) Cyril Takayama, who is famous in Japan for many miraculous-looking urlustions. You can find him in urtubes. Please enjoy your orgasms (over there).

agree with the others. I understand it better now than from my prof. and book. The tipler and mosca physics for sci and engineers vol. 1 and 2) < the worst phys book

[dancenswim11]

can u like teach my physics class?! seriously. that was so much easier than my teacher made it. thank u!!!!! :)

[naffy0325]

Thank you sooo much!!! I didn't understand this is my physics class and now I do! Thank you!!!

=D

tyvm for this explanation, I had to determine which magnet was acting as the north pole in a current between two magnets.

[fobla]

whyy is it that the magnetic field around the wire a circle? what happens when two circular magnetic fields interact, (like in power lines) and why do they react like that?

my question is? is the current flow from + to - in DC.What direction current flow in Ac?Can any body tell me thanks.

[matrixeducation]

Current flow is + to - in AC and DC. The difference in AC is the + and - reverse very quickly, 50 or 60 times per second, so the current also reverses back and forth with that frequency.

How come with situations regarding Fleming's LEFT hand rule, the magnetic field lines are always straight instead of curved? The way I see it is; they should be curved. Unless they take the tangent to the curved line as being the direction of the magnetic field. And even if they did this, because a current-carrying conductor may be so long, the direction of the force on the conductor would be different to the direction of the force on the other side of it? I do NOT understand!

Your smile is warmer than hydrogen plasma.

[anafredd]

wow.. that is soo gay.

[naffy0325]

Lol! Where does he even smile?!

=)

This Right Hand Curl Rule considers the conventional direction of current (+ to -) and not the real direction of current (- to +). So, you can just put your tumb pointing against the real current or just use your left hand instead.

[sanjose21ca]

this guy is hot, licks!

[chinaskistar]

A small correction... If you put the negative end on the top, the the current (negative charged electrons) will flow from the top to the bottom (and not the opposite way). Hovewer your results are correct since you used the right hand instead of the left...

[ACE3603]

he's using conventional current, not electron flow.

[F0bidden1]

thx!

[devilboy55]

thanks bro that stuff was really useful
